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
:
http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/guide/jpda/jdi/com/sun/jdi/ObjectReference.html
http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/guide/serialization/spec/input.html
http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Java(TM) Language Specification, Third Edition
ACTUAL -
Java(TM) Language Specification, Second Edition
