/**
* This is an example of a starting class for a doclet,
* showing the entry-point methods. A starting class must
* import com.sun.javadoc.* and implement the
* {@code start(RootDoc)} method, as described in the
* <a href="package-summary.html#package_description">package
* description</a>. If the doclet takes command line options,
* it must also implement {@code optionLength} and
* {@code validOptions}.
*
* <p> A doclet supporting the language features added since 1.1
* (such as generics and annotations) should indicate this
* by implementing {@code languageVersion}. In the absence of
* this the doclet should not invoke any of the Doclet API methods
* added since 1.5, and
* the results of several other methods are modified so as
* to conceal the new constructs (such as type parameters) from
* the doclet.
*
* <p> To start the doclet, pass
* {@code -doclet} followed by the fully-qualified
* name of the starting class on the javadoc tool command line.
*
* @deprecated
* The declarations in this package have been superseded by those
* in the package {@code jdk.javadoc.doclet}.
* For more information, see the <i>Migration Guide</i> in the documentation for that package.
