javadoc fails to inherit documentation for Class.getAnnotation

      A number of methods are missing docs in the javadoc due to javadoc not
      inheriting the documentation. This is probably due to javadoc's inexact
      computation of which methods override which others. These methods involve
      new language features.

      Examples are in:
        Class.getAnnotation
        Package.getAnnotation

      - Low Risk. The doclet incorrectly computes overridden methods. If the doclet API did this correctly, it would not be risky at
      all to remove the buggy doclet code and use the information provided by
      the doclet API.
