FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Javadoc.exe from Oracle JDK 1.8 mangles the Javadoc of org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.StructuralPropertyDescriptor:

http://help.eclipse.org/luna/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jdt/core/dom/StructuralPropertyDescriptor.html

The source at http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jdt.core/dom/org/eclipse/jdt/core/dom/StructuralPropertyDescriptor.java?id=3f056938fd0d55f64055cc988fa986e793b5a072#n107 e.g. properly documents

/**
* Returns whether this property is a child list property
* (instance of {@link ChildListPropertyDescriptor}.
*
* @return <code>true</code> if this is a child list property, and
* <code>false</code> otherwise
*/
public final boolean isChildListProperty() {
return (this instanceof ChildListPropertyDescriptor);
}

The produced html misses the given Javadoc and just says:

isChildListProperty()
Gets the value of the property childListProperty.


Probably fallout from the ill-conceived and still undocumented "support" for JavaFX-style properties. See also https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8031102
