        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        Hi!

        So i came across with this error while i was reading about how binding to a GUI component worked. I was reading the firePropertyChange() method and i noticed the very last overloading method of the firePropertyChange() had wrong javadocs for its Parameters.
        The actual overloading method is:

        firePropertyChange(String propertyName, short oldValue, short newValue)

        Parameters:
        propertyName - the programmatic name of the property that was changed
        oldValue - the old value of the property (as a short)
        newValue - the old value of the property (as a short)

        As you can see the newValue documentation should be the "new" value to the property instead of the "old".

        Regards,
        Run Yan.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
         newValue - the new value of the property (as a short)
        ACTUAL -
        newValue - the old value of the property (as a short)

        URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
        I accessed this javadoc from my netbeans IDE.
