'package.html' may be converted to 'package-info.java'

Reports any package.html files which are used for documenting packages.

Since JDK 1.5, it is recommended that you use package-info.java files instead, as such files can also contain package annotations. This way, package-info.java becomes a sole repository for package level annotations and documentation.

Example: package.html

<html>
  <body>
    Documentation example.
  </body>
</html>

After the quick-fix is applied: package-info.java

/**
 * Documentation example.
 */
package com.sample;
