Thanks for your response Emi! I haven't tried with any other libraries or any other JDK versions to try other Javadoc formats. To be frank I only got to know these two possibilities because of the issue here, and am not aware of any other formats.
I am hoping some more experienced users have some insight here, and can guide/help me how in filing a bug if this is one.
