Description
The code that provides the DocLint feature in _javac_ has been moved from the `jdk.compiler` module to the `jdk.javadoc` module. For most users, there will be no impact. However, any user wanting to build a minimal image for running _javac_ with DocLint enabled will need to ensure that the `jdk.javadoc` module is available when linking the image.
