FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Before JDK 1.4, the constructor java.net.Socket.Socket() was protected and became public with 1.4.
This should be documented because the "Since: JDK1.1" entry is misleading.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
