RFR [16,test] JDKJDK-8248492 ProblemList open/test/langtools//jdk/javadoc/doclet/testHeadTag/TestHeadTag.java

[Pavel Rappo]

Jon, then it looks good.

Separately. Other javadoc-related entries in that file refer to these resolved issues: 8152313 and 8164597. Should we revisit the corresponding tests as to why they are still problem-listed?

The entries from javac, javap, and sjavac I looked at refer to issues that describe *failures* of the corresponding problem-listed tests. Those issues are still open. I presume an issue tracks the failure and closes together with the corresponding test being un-problem-listed. If so, shouldn't we use some other issue for that entry?
