Description

Javadoc is not recognized for java platforms 10 and up. Probably related to new Javadoc format in modularized java releases.

•  Platform Javadoc won't be listed at Help/Javadoc references
• Show Javadoc on nodes in the project window will fail with "javadoc for xxx.yyy.zzz not be found
• Show documentation in external web browser buttons are disabled across the whole ide.

Issue does not affect code completion or other features using actual comments in platform sources.
