Right, even the Sun 1.3.1 BreakIterator doesn't work - sometimes it
includes the period at the end of the sentence, sometimes not, though
I was able to work around that.

I've added the following stub to gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.DocImpl.java
If anyone feels like it, he can implement it. I currently don't ;)
        

   /**
    *  Looks for an end-of-sentence marker in <code>text</code>,
    *  starting at <code>startIndex</code> and stopping at
    *  <code>endIndex</code>.
    *
    *  @param text  the text to be searched
    *  @param startIndex  index in <code>text</code> at which to start
    *  @param endIndex  index in <code>text</code> at which to stop
    *
    *  @returns the index of the character following the end-of-sentence
    *    marker, <code>endIndex</code> if no end-of-sentence
    *    marker could be found, or -1 if not implemented.
    */
   private static int findEndOfSentence(char[] text, int startIndex, int 
endIndex) {

      return -1;
   }
