javac 7 bug: incorrect parsing of @deprecated javadoc tag

[Joel Borggrén-Franck]

Hi Jeremy, Cushon,

Thanks for the test. Given the sate of JDK 8 this will have to wait until 9 opens. I have filed https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8028143 for this, I can fix this in 9 as soon as it opens (you can then back port to 8u if you want to).

My guess is that we (almost) always would like more tests.

I can imagine one or two scenarios where the tests are not practical to have in the langtools repository (think big binary files), but I think those are very far and few between.

Sounds reasonable. I believe we will benefit from this as well as you will exercise new versions of javac on a large codebase.
