I wouldn't put a blank line between javadoc tags.
Will fix it.
Hi Martin,

Just update webrev in place to remove blank lines, webrev still at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mli/8176563/webrev.00/

Thank you

I'm not sure whether @since is justified for new specialized implementations like ArrayDeque.removeAll. It is somewhat misleading to add the @since because that method has worked just fine in past releases with no substantive spec change.

Hmmmm....
The most important use case for @since is for developers who need to decide whether they can afford to use an API when targeting older platforms. For this reason ... I think using @since for pre-existing inherited methods is a mistake (implementation detail).
Thank you. I'm expecting your comments, because seems either ways make sense, I'd like to discuss it in open alias. Please check below information (especially the *red/bold* sentence) at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html:
"
@since/since-text/

   Introduced in JDK 1.1

   Adds a/Since/heading with the specified|since-text|value to the
   generated documentation. The text has no special internal structure.
   This tag is valid in any documentation comment: overview, package,
   class, interface, constructor, method, or field. *This tag means
   that this change or feature has existed since the software release
   specified by the****|since-text|****value*, for example:|@since 1.5|.

   For Java platform source code, the|@since|tag indicates the version
   of the Java platform API specification, which is not necessarily
   when the source code was added to the reference implementation.
   Multiple|@since|tags are allowed and are treated like
   multiple|@author|tags. You could use multiple tags when the program
   element is used by more than one API.

Thank you

I don't remember which way I went 10 years ago - you might investigate.
