Darwin RalphGoers-MacBook-Pro.local 16.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.7.0: Thu Jun 15 17:36:27 PDT 2017; root:xnu-3789.70.16~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A user of Log4j 2 created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1925 that shows an error occurring when compiling a class with the log4j-core jar on the classpath. In diagnosing the error I created https://github.com/rgoers/LOG4J2-1925 which is a simple project that shows the compile failing when any annotation process is present when -Xdoclint:all is on the command line.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
git clone https://github.com/rgoers/LOG4J2-1925.git
cd LOG4J2-1925
./build

Observe the errors that occur when compiling Util.java with an annotation processor.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The compile should successfully complete.
ACTUAL -
