SWT Javadoc bash for 4.37

Steps to perform

• • Need to pull the latest changes on master.
• • Make sure the git staging view is clean.
• • Then run this standalone Java application: JavadocBasher.java.
• • If there any valid changes it will reflect in git staging.
• • Validate them manually and merge if any.

But this task is to be merged in RC2 only after verifying it.

Can you explain to what kind of changes this refers? The Javadoc of public SWT API has changed for the upcoming release (e.g., via #2391), so I guess this is about some other kind of change?

Steps to perform

Wouldn't it make sense to run this as a separate PR check/verification to make sure the documentation is always in sync?
If that fails it could then contain the instructions how to sync the doc. I see no reasons why a PR with inconsistent doc should be generally fine.

Having a gha running the javadoc bash tool would be nice.

Hi @HeikoKlare, this script checks for any inconsistencies / errors as per certain guidelines implemented via this JavadocBasher.java tool like API consistency issues across platforms, unsupported declarations and so on. Right now we didnt see any such errors reported by the tool which needs attention.

It also means #2391 didnt have any such errors in it.

Note : But this task needs to be re-verified on RC2 build and then only be closed (to ensure any last minute stop ships delivered are also verified by this tool specifically in SWT.)

Thank you for the clarification, @deepika-u!
