Description
When modules were added to Java 9, javadoc did not initially take them into account in the structure of the generated output hierarchy, meaning that like-named packages in different modules could overlap. This was remedied in ... (JDK-8195795) but for temporary backward compatibility, an option was added to revert to the earlier, bad behavior. It is now time to remove support for the old behavior, and to remove the option that enables it.
Comments
The fix primarily consists of removing BaseConfiguration.useModuleDirectories, resolving all use sites as though the value was `true`.
