JDK-8007350 - Some tree nodes do not have endpos set
Description
Tree end positions are not made available to annotation processors
-- needDocComments is set true but not genEndPos

Neither tree end positions nor doc comments are made available to task listeners when invoked via Compiler API
--  neither needDocComments nor genEndPos are set
Comments
Comment about anno-processors is incorrect, but note JDK-8007350 . Still need to ensure that genEndPos and keepComments are set when taskListeners are present
