The AST on reconcile sometimes creates an AST that has no Javadoc comment nodes,
even there should be.
I found out that this is only the case when a reconcile is called on an
unmodified file:

1. Set a breakpoint in the last statement (return) of
AST.convertCompilationUnit(int, CompilationUnitDeclaration, char[], Map,
IProgressMonitor) (line: 255)
2. In a file with the content attached enter a space, keep unsaved
3. The breakpoint is reached. You can see in the debugger that the AST that has
been created with a Javadoc comment node
4. continue from the breakpoint, give focus on the editor again. The breakpoint
is reached again (I will look at the reasons for this, it seems unnecessary to
calculate an AST again as there was no change)
Now the AST has no Javadoc comment node

public class P {

	/**
	 * Returns the length of the string representing the number of 
	 * indents in the given string <code>line</code>. Returns 
	 * <code>-1<code> if the line isn't prefixed with an indent of
	 * the given number of indents.

	public static int computeIndentLength(String line, int numberOfIndents, int
tabWidth) {
		return 0;               
	}
}
