Idel,

would you mind to create a branch for us, so we can investigate the MireDot
solution? also the build should be working w/ JDK8.

ATM we use jax-doclet ([1]) which does not work w/ JDK 8 - but it does not
really use any fancy annotations (e.g. see [2]) - that's why we picked it.

Thanks!
Matthias
