The spec for KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentFocusCycleRoot() states:

    This method is intended to be used only by KeyboardFocusManagers and focus implementations. It is not for general client use.

In an environment without a pointing device (keyboard only), the application needs to know the current focus cycle root in order to give some indication to the user how to navigate. The warning "not for general client use" seems at odds with such an environment.

There isn't any obvious harm in allowing applications to call this method. Can the quoted text above be deleted?
