Thanks. I removed the static keyword and the leak is gone if I do not reuse the DocumentationTool object. However, there is still a leak if I recycle the tool object. (This does not happen with the javac tool object, I think.) So it's an improvement in the sense that there is now an easy workaround, but the fix isn't quite complete yet.
