JDK-4507380 - Merlin javadoc cannot handle packages named *.java (regression)
Description

Name: bsT130419			Date: 09/26/2001


F:\jdk1.4\bin>java -version
java version "1.4.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77, mixed mode)



Packages ending in a subpackage named java (com.foo.bar.java) are treated as
.java files when invoked on the command line.
Example:

javadoc com.foo.bar.java

This is seen as a source file with a class named com.foo.bar

This did not happen with 1.3.x
