JDK-8144034 - "Automatic Copying of Method Comments" doesn't always give preference to interfaces over superclasses
Description
1. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html#CHDEDCCA

"...Look in each directly implemented (or extended) interface in the order they appear following the word implements (or extends) in the method declaration. Use the first documentation comment found for this method..." 

should be: 

"...Look in each directly implemented (or extended) interface in the order they appear following the word implements (or extends) in the type declaration. Use the first documentation comment found for this method..." 

(method -> type) 

2. If I understand correctly all occurrences of "dirist" should be changed to "dirlist".
