Not everything, to be precise, @deprecated doc tag stored in class file :-). Don't have doc due to network problems and don't remember whether it returned by reflection.
Anyway, doclet is probaly the best choice. Some other tools could give you access to comments and source, e.g. Together Control Center (AKA Together/J) provides such API. Don't know other examples.

You can't use reflection to extract the comments that I'm aware, and anyway they may have been stripped from the class file.
But from the sound of what you're trying to do doclets are just what you need:
