javadoc for annotation types should not display "public abstract" modifiers on methods

      Currently the generated detail javadoc for the members of annotation type are displayed like
      " public abstract ElementType[] value"

      from java.lang.annotation.Target. However, these members are methods on an interface (an annotation type is a kind of interface); therefore, just as the methods of an interface shouldn't have the "public abstract" modifiers printed, neither should the members of an annotation type.
