compilation areas being ignored? (beaninfo, I think).

[Erik Joelsson]

I believe the reason for the errors, which I'm pretty sure have been 
there all the time in build-infra, is a difference in the classpath used 
to run the javadoc doclet. The old build adds the main classes dir while 
the new build does not. The problem is that the new build couldn't add 
it anyway since it's empty at that point in the build. The good thing is 
that it doesn't seem to affect the output since we still compare all 
classes in the resulting image as equal.

The build would fail if javadoc exited with non zero, which it 
apparently doesn't.

It would be nice to avoid these errors. This would require compiling 
these sun.util.locale.provider.LocaleProvider* classes explicitly before 
running the doclet. Feels like a hack to me though.
