Currently in the javadoc tool, the generated class use page does not track the occurrences of a class in the type arguments of the extends or implements list, where they can appear. (See more details on the JBS issue) For example:
public class One {} import java.util.*; public class Two extends ArrayList<One> implements Comparator<One> { } This patch proposes to add new 2 usage categories, "Classes that extend types with arguments of type" and "Classes that implement types with arguments of type" to describe the missing usage scenarios. A preview of the new use page with the 2 new categories, generated based on the example above, can be found here: https://cr.openjdk.org/~liach/8323698-javadocuse/doc/class-use/One.html ------------- Commit messages: - Use page to check extends/implements type arguments Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17414/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=17414&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8323698 Stats: 92 lines in 4 files changed: 87 ins; 0 del; 5 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17414.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/17414/head:pull/17414 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17414
