      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Several places in the API docs reference "The Java Language Specification, Second Edition". As the current JLS is Third Edition and that matches the implemented language (more or less), the JavaDoc references *and links* should be updated.

      The following exhibit the problem:

      java.lang.AssertionError
      java.lang.Class
      java.lang.reflect.Method
      java.lang.reflect.Modifier
      javax.management.remote (package-info)

      Also in the non-api docs

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
       Java(TM) Language Specification, Third Edition
      ACTUAL -
       Java(TM) Language Specification, Second Edition
