@Documented ignored for type-use annotations

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi Jon,

filed a bug; that's the "internal review id": 9047801.

The steps to reproduce are this:

mkdir -p src/main/java/com/example

cat > src/main/java/com/example/MyAnno.java <<EOL
package com.example;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.*;
import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Documented
@Target({ TYPE, METHOD, FIELD, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER, TYPE_USE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface MyAnno {
}
EOL

cat > src/main/java/com/example/MyAnnoUser.java <<EOL
package com.example;

import java.util.List;

@MyAnno
public class MyAnnoUser {

    @MyAnno public String foo;
    public List<@MyAnno String> foos;

    @MyAnno public MyAnnoUser() {}

    @MyAnno public void doFoo(@MyAnno String foo) {}
    public void doBar(List<@MyAnno String> foos) {}
}
EOL

javadoc -sourcepath src/main/java -d target/javadoc $(find
src/main/java -name "*.java")

I'm using 1.8.0_121.
