Javadoc doubling up on TYPE_USE annotations.

[JWT007]

Please provide a brief summary of the bug

When using TYPE_USE annotations (ie. @NotNull) with arrays and lists Javadoc is doubling down on the leading annotation.

For example:

With simple interface:

public interface TestInterface {
  @NotNull List<@NotNull String> getStrings();
  @NotNull String @NotNull [] getStringsAsArray();
  void setStringsAsVarArgArray(@NotNull String @NotNull ... strings);
}

The generated Javadoc looks like the following (leading annotation always 2x)

@NotNull @NotNull List<@NotNull String> getStrings()
@NotNull @NotNull String @NotNull [] getStringsAsArray()
void setStringsAsVarArgArray(@NotNull @NotNull String @NotNull ... strings);

NOTE: The "Method Summary" table displays correctly; however, the "Method Details" does not.

Please provide steps to reproduce where possible

I used the simple interface described above and imported the Jetbrains Annotations version for the NotNull annotation.

   <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jetbrains</groupId>
      <artifactId>annotations</artifactId>
      <version>23.0.0</version>
    </dependency>

Expected Results

I expect that the TYPE_USE annotation only appears once or rather as declared.

Actual Results

The TYPE_USE annotation is doubled up on its first-occurrence.

ie.

@NotNull @NotNull ...
