P4
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It appears that the authors of this documentation intended to link to method descriptions in the preferences documentation, but simply mistyped the JavaDoc syntax, so the text of the document reads something like
"call to {Preferences#flush()}"
instead of
"call to _Preferences.flush_", with a hyperlink.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
This is true because they return no information and their effects are not required to become permanent until a subsequent call to {@link Preferences#flush()} or {@link Preferences#sync()}.
or something similar
ACTUAL -
This is true because they return no information and their effects are not required to become permanent until a subsequent call to {Preferences#flush()} or {Preferences#sync()}.
