      Summary

      Remove annotation processing APIs for unnamed classes, remove documentation related to unnamed classes from javadoc.

      Problem

      In the second preview of this feature, support for unnamed classes has been dropped and replaced with implicit classes. The distinction between unnamed classes and implicit classes is that the implicit class syntax is purely syntactic sugar and the classes generated by the compiler are exactly like regular classes with no indication of their origin.

      Solution

      Remove annotation processing APIs that rely on the detectability of unnamed classes and remove documentation related to unnamed classes.

      Specification

      javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement::isUnnamedis removed. This was the method was also used to detect an unnamed class. javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement::getSimpleName and javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement::getQualifiedName() have documentation removed related to unnamed classes.

      javax.annotation.processing::Filer::createSourceFile and javax.annotation.processing::Filer::createClassFile have documentation removed related to unnamed classes.
