      Attempt to use the "-nohelp" option leads to the following error:
      "javadoc: error - Option -nohelp conflicts with -helpfile"

      The reason is the inappropriate variable initialization (jdk.javadoc.internal.doclets.formats.html.ConfigurationImpl.validateOptions()):

           /**
           * Argument for command line option "-helpfile".
           */
          public String helpfile = "";

      ..............

          protected boolean validateOptions() {

      ..............

              } else if (opt.matches("-nohelp")) {
                      if (helpfile != null) {
                          reporter.print(ERROR, getText("doclet.Option_conflict",
                              "-nohelp", "-helpfile"));
                          return false;
                      }
                  }
