Fix typos in FX API docs

XMLWordPrintable

      Here are a few others reported on the openjfx-dev mailing list [1]

      A few more corrections for the Javadoc:

      - ListChangeListener.Change<E>, in the code example, "<tem>" should be "<Item>".

      In this class refer to the following methods (I'm looking at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html#styleguide):

      - getAddedSubList: is phrased unconventionally. Instead of the usual "does X" phrasing, it uses "to do X, use this method". So the first sentence should probably be "Get(s) a subList view of the list that contains only the elements added."

      - getPermutation(int): similar to above. Probably "Allows to observe the permutation that happened" or similar is slightly more in line.

      - getPermutation(): "an permutation" should be "a permutation".

      - wasAdded: missing a period in its first and only sentence.

      - next: "a requires" should probably be "and requires".

      - getTo: the return description should be "an end" instead of "a end".

      - next and reset: use the unconventional imperative "Go to..." and "Reset to..." instead of "Goes to..." and "Resets to...".

      - Some methods are described by what they return rather than what they do. getAddedSize: "Size of the interval that was added.", getRemovedSize: "Size of getRemoved() list.", getRemoved: "An immutable list of removed/replaced elements." etc. More conventional is "returns/gets a/an..." or similar, although this is also

      - Most methods don't use @code style when mentioning other methods (compare getAddedSubList and wasUpdated, for example). If you follow the style guide I linked, then many other classes are affected.

      Other:

      - TreeItem should have a link to TreeView in the first sentence, or as a @see, or both. Possibly also for TreeTableView as these are its 2 main uses.
