This is the only thing Javadoc (Java 1.3) dumped, aside from the status
messages. I googled a bit more and found out that it was the wrong
Javadoc version, which being that I used Java 1.6 generics, which is
obviously not present in Java 1.3. On my computer at work I have 4
versions of jre/jdk installed for the various Java enviroments we use.
And in the PATH I have Java 1.3 as the default bin directory because the
most important applications I use require this version.

On some systems, notably various Linuxen, there is the "alternatives"
mechanism, that allows one to manage multiple executables for the same service.
/usr/sbin/alternatives
man 8 alternatives
