A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documenation states 'A hashtable-based Map implementation with weak keys'

This indicates that the WeakHashMap shares synchronization semantics with HashTable. If one reads on in the documentation it clearly states that the WeakHashMap isn't synchronized..

It would be clearer if the documentation stated 'A hashmap-based Map implementation with weak keys'

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A hashmap-based Map implementation with weak keys
ACTUAL -
A hashtable-based Map implementation with weak keys

URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/WeakHashMap.html
