Description Dani Megert

I20080122-0800.

We need to be able to get getJavadocRange() for a package declaration in order to extract the Javadoc out of package-info.java. Another approach might be new API to get the package Javadoc for a Java element.

Note: getJavadocRange() is currently implemented defined on IMember.

This might also be needed for IImportDeclaration.

Nope, import declarations don't have Javadoc.

While IPackageDeclaration#getJavadocRange() would be nice, I think the blocked bugs can also be fixed without this. In the end, we anyway create an AST (without bindings) in JavadocContentAccess2#getJavadocNode(IMember, String). For package-info.java the AST won't be much larger than the Javadoc, so we can also just create the AST on the whole CU and get the Javadoc node from the AST.

We did not need this.
