In the type javax.sound.sampled.spi.AudioFileWriter in the java.desktop module, there is an @see reference

    @see #isFileTypeSupported(Type, AudioInputStream)

where "Type" is the statically imported nested type

    import static javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat.Type;

While there are many uses of "Type" in the file in question, when javadoc is run over AudioFileWriter, the following warning is produced:

jdk/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/sound/sampled /spi/AudioFileWriter.java:127: warning - Tag @see: can't find isFileTypeSupported(Type, AudioInputStream) in javax.sound.sampled.spi.AudioFileWriter

Changing the @see reference to

    @see #isFileTypeSupported(AudioFileFormat.Type, AudioInputStream)

resolve the problem. Therefore, it seems that javadoc is not properly handling the statically imported in this situation since other occurrences of Type do *not* have to be (partially) qualified.
