Description

```java
package bug;

import java.util.Map;

/** {@link Map.Entry} */
class Bug {}
```

Produces this warning in the JavaDoc line: _Javadoc: Invalid member type qualification_.
However, according to [Documentation Comment Specification for the Standard Doclet](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/specs/javadoc/doc-comment-spec.html#References), this syntax should be correct.

See also [the original report](https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=371420) from ten years ago, closed as "Invalid" because ten years ago there was a bug in the javadoc tool (which was [fixed 8 years ago](https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4464323)).
