JEP 212: "Resolve Lint and Doclint Warnings" is complete!

[Joseph D. Darcy]

Hello,

One of the proposed improvements for development practices made early in 
JDK 9 was the elimination of javac lint and doclint warnings for sources 
in the JDK. [1] This was first proposed [2] and later formally targeted 
to JDK 9 as  JEP 212: Resolve Lint and Doclint Warnings [3].

Amongst other modules in the build, java.base and java.desktop compiled 
cleanly under -Xlint:all as of January 2015. [4] Four out of five 
doclint categories were enabled in March 2015 [5] and, as of this 
morning, the fifth doclint category now also covers those modules too [6].

With that, JEP 212 is complete!

Thanks to all those who contributed fixes and reviews to this effort 
(and its less structured antecedents) over the years,

-Joe
