duke@1 32 * <code>start(RootDoc)</code> method, as described in the

duke@1 38 * <p> A doclet supporting the language features added since 1.1
duke@1 39 * (such as generics and annotations) should indicate this
duke@1 40 * by implementing <code>languageVersion</code>. In the absence of
duke@1 41 * this the doclet should not invoke any of the Doclet API methods
duke@1 42 * added since 1.5, and
duke@1 43 * the results of several other methods are modified so as
duke@1 44 * to conceal the new constructs (such as type parameters) from
duke@1 45 * the doclet.
