DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The API documentation for both Preferences.userNodeForPackage() and Preferences.systemNodeForPackage() contains the following erroneous statement:

"For example the absolute path name of the node associated with the class com.acme.widget is /com/acme/widget."

The path name associated with the *class* com.acme.widget would be /com/acme not /com/acme/widget. I believe the documentation reads "class" when it should read "package".

Please see:
