    33  * <a href="package-summary.html#package_description">package

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

    47  * <p> To start the doclet, pass
    48  * <code>-doclet</code> followed by the fully-qualified
