Well, there is the make/scripts directory in the the top-level JDK 
repository forest.

I was not trying to replace all the <code></code> tags with {@code}!  
Although others may attempt that later in JDK 8.  (For the classes I 
directly maintain, I long ago migrated to using {@code}.)

I was only attempting to replace the awkward HTML with <code></code> 
used to render "\u..." with less awkward javadoc just using {@code}, but 
if I was in a file, I replaced the other <code></code> usages to.
