No. For a bit of first hand information, Henrik Ståhl, Senior Director Product Management at Oracle, discussed JavaDoc improvements in his interview in the Java Spotlight podcast episode 30 over here: http://blogs.oracle.com/javaspotlight/entry/java_spotlight_episode_30_henrik - JavaDoc part starts at 23:18. As a first step, In JDK 7, there is now style sheet support for JavaDoc. So your own docs can be styled to look your own way (i.e. better then the defaults) more easily then before. A quick look at the Mercurial logs for JDK 7 shows that fixes also went in for HTML WCAG 2.0 accessibility issues, and making the API varargs and class-loader friendly, among other changes. I should also point out that JavaDoc is open source and part of OpenJDK. You can find the source code (and the default doclet and css style sheet) in the langtools repository in JDK 7 (and JDK 8, of course).
