Description
The old  (JDK 6, JDK 7 and JDK 8 era) standard doclet, which outputs HTML content, and which has been superseded by a replacement, has been removed in this release. The underlying javadoc API (see `com.sun.javadoc` in the API documentation) has been deprecated, but is still available for the time being, for use by user-provided doclets.
