Architecturally, the "tool" part of `javadoc` inherently has direct access to `javac` and its internals, and structurally, does not have access to `Utils`. Conversely, the "doclets" world does not (should not) need to access `javac` internals, and so should use `Utils` instead. In a different world, with smaller modules, the tool would be in one module, and the doclets world would be in one or more different modules. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6165
