    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      In the man page the description ot the options for the "bootclasspath" parameter are swapped.




      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The description must be swapped for both options.

      -Xbootclasspath/p:path Adds a prefix to the bootstrap class path.
      -Xbootclasspath/a:path Adds a suffix to the bootstrap class path.
      ACTUAL -
      In the current javac man page.

      -Xbootclasspath/p:path Adds a suffix to the bootstrap class path.
      -Xbootclasspath/a:path Adds a prefix to the bootstrap class path.
