JDK-8182108 - javadoc makes up type variables for grandparent types
Description
Initial assessment is that this does not need a new API, seems like a bug in the doclet implementation handling TypeParameters for inherited interface methods, for instance:
All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<ElementKind>
instead we get
All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<E> <---- looks getDeclaredTypes are not being applied correctly.
Comments
This was removed with the fix for JDK-8182108, thus no longer an issue.

Got it to work now.

What about the following comment on interfaceTypesOf: // TODO: jx.l.m directSuperTypes don't work for things like Enum, // so we use javac directly, investigate why jx.l.m is not cutting it.

The fix for JDK-8182108 will eliminate the dependency and this subtask can be closed.
