I'm not sure what the jQuery developers use this format for, but it is not javadoc, per se.
If you are looking for something to create documentation , I personally have used jsdoc-toolkit (http://code.google.com/p/jsdoc- toolkit/) which is a javadoc type api for JavaScript. There are a number of other similar type api's out there.
