The word the is considered a definite article because it defines the meaning of a noun as one particular thing. It's an article that gives a noun a definite meaning: a definite article. Generally, definite articles are used to identify nouns that the audience already knows about.

Javadoc uses # as a separator between class and method/constructor signatures or field names to avoid ambiguous links.
The Javadoc @link and @see tags can be used with references to packages, classes and specific methods/constructors or fields within a class. It is perhaps not obvious, but it is legal to have e.g. a class "c" in the package "a.b" and a class "b" in the package "a" with a field called "c" in the same project. A Javadoc link to "package a.b, class c" would be written "a.b.c", whereas a link to "package a, class b, field c" would be written "a.b#c". If the name is distinct, the Javadoc tool will also accept the . separator before methods, constructors or fields.
If a link starts with #, it refers to a method/field/constructor in the same class. This is analogue to the anchor usage in HTTP urls, where href="doc.html#a1" refers to the "a1" anchor in "doc.html" and href="#a1" refers to the "a1" anchor in the same document.
