The JCE algorithm specification

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html

states for TLS:

"... The Java SE 7 release supports endpoint identification algorithms
for TLS 1.2. The algorithm name can be passed to the
setEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm() method of
javax.net.ssl.SSLParameters...."

The endpoint identification algorithms apply to all TLS protocols. Should not have the "for TLS 1.2" words in the doc.
