bug#53934: OpenJDK doesn't have a doclet

[Julien Lepiller]

Openjdk has two outputs: out and jdk. The default output contains only
what's necessary to *run* a Java application, while the jdk output
contains that *in addition* to what's needed to build Java applications
(javac, ...). I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if javadoc or doclet
need to be in the default output or not. Aren't they used only when
developping or building Java code?
