Thank you for clarification. I've seen a few fixes in this area but I 
missed this discussion.

So the main type heading will be <h1>, i.e. it will <h1>JTable</h1>. 
Therefore starting at <h2> in types makes sense.

According to the message you linked to, the documentation comments for 
methods should start at <h4>.

Here's the relevant quote:
…Headings in documentation comments for modules, packages and types 
should start at <h2>;
Headings in documentation comments for members of a type (field, 
constructor, method, etc) should start at <h4>.

(I've changed formatting to separate these two cases.)


Thus in *JTable.java* you should rather decrease heading level as the 
headings are used in /method/ as opposed to /type/ in the majority of 
other cases:
-3053      * <H3> Distributing the delta </H3>
+3053      * <H4> Distributing the delta </H4>

-3055      * <H4> Overview </H4>
+3055      * <H5> Overview </H5>

And the remaining <h4> become <h5>:
3064      * <H4>Definition</H4>
3096      * <H4>Details</H4>
3107      * <H4>When the MAX and MIN bounds are hit</H4>


As for the rest of the review:

*Font.java*

You changed the first <h3> to <h2>:
-77  * <h3>Characters and Glyphs</h3>
+77  * <h2>Characters and Glyphs</h2>

But why not other headings? All of the headings were at the same level, 
but they're not.

These should also go up to <h2>:
  99  * <h3>Physical and Logical Fonts</h3>
138  * <h3>Font Faces and Names</h3>
172  * <h3>Font and TextAttribute</h3>


*javax/print/attribute/package-info.java*

204  * <h3>Attribute Class Design</h3>
298  * <h3>Attribute Vendors</h3>
324  * <h3>Using Attributes</h3>

These should also go one level up to <h2> as other headings.
These used to be separate sections but now they're subsections of
131  * <h2>Attribute Sets</h2>
which does not seem correct.
