FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Win XP - but this is not relevant

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The Javadoc for java.lang.Math says
"Unlike some of the numeric methods of class StrictMath, all implementations of the equivalent functions of class Math are not defined to return the bit-for-bit same results. "

However, the source file for java.lang.Math starts like this:
public final strictfp class Math {

and the source file for StrictMath starts like this:
public final class StrictMath {

I.e. the strictfp modifier is applied to the wrong class. Or the javadoc is wrong.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
read the code

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
expected javadoc and source to be in agreement
ACTUAL -
code and javadoc contradict each other

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
