Description
While several elements of javax.lang.model and javax.tools were deprecated in Java SE 9 (JDK-8172686, JDK-8050430, JDK-8155765), the since="9" information cannot be added in JDK 9 since these classes are bootstrapped against JDK 8 and the java.lang.Deprecated type from JDK 8 does not have a since method.

However, this information should be added in JDK 10, which will be bootstrapped against JDK 9.
