I still use javadoc a lot. I was shocked to see the author complain about it. I have always found javadoc to be one of the best language docs to date. I find myself missing it constantly when I am using other less documented languages and libraries. It is well structured and exhaustive, the only confusing parts of it are where the actual underlying class is poorly structured. I would highly suggest using javadoc before something like SO when you are confused about how to use a class. The vast majority of SO's java help is frozen in time due to SO's 'no duplicate questions' policy. Java has improved a lot since java 7.
