FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

I have no idea if Javadoc was run incorrectly or whether it's a Java doc bug, but the "Use" section of the API documentation from java.sql.DatabaseMetaData is empty (and should at least list Connection.getMetaData() as a method which returns DatabaseMetaData), and java.sql as a package which uses it.

Obviously, the problem could be more widespread; I haven't done a comprehensive search through the API; just noticed this one.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 1.3.1_02.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.  Browse to the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData javadoc.
2.  Click on "Use"
3.  Notice that it is empty.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Should see java.sql as "package that uses DatabaseMetaData"

Should see java.sql.Connection.getMetaData() as "method which returns DatabaseMetaData"

Release Regression From : 1.3.1_02
The above release value was the last known release where this 
bug was knwon to work. Since then there has been a regression.
