A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Currently when discussing or making notes of API documentation, the URL includes a version
For example
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/text/AbstractDocument.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/text/AbstractDocument.html
This quickly renders any bookmarks and notes of such URLs obsolete. Searching in a web-search engine often shows references to old API documentation when the latest is sought.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It would be useful to have a fixed reference that always provides the latest documentation.
For example
http://java.sun.com/java/current/docs/api/javax/swing/text/AbstractDocument.html
would currently point to the version 6 API documentation. After version 7 of the JDK is released, the same URL will point to version 7 documentation.
URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
All API Documentation
