Look at the AST in the following code with a missing return type:
	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private foo() {
		return 1;
	}

The AST does not contain a Javadoc node.

Fixed.

As method return type is missing, compiler first creates a
ConstructorDeclaration. Recovery changes this ConstructorDeclaration to
MethodDeclaration but forgot to copy javadoc while doing this...

Now, invalid method as its javadoc correctly set

[jdt-core-internal]
Change done in Parser.convertToMethodDeclaration(...)
Test case added in ASTConverterJavadocTest
