Summary

Remove unnecessary "for delegation" phrase from the ClassLoader::getPlatformClassLoader() and ClassLoader::getSystemClassLoader() spec.

Problem

The ClassLoader::getParent() spec begins, "Returns the parent class loader for delegation."

The getPlatformClassLoader() and getSystemClassLoader() static methods in java.lang.ClassLoader are worded similarly. But it seems unnecessary to mention "for delegation" -these methods are designed simply to always return the indicated classloader (for delegation, or no). The "for delegation" phrase seems out of place.

Solution

The spec for getPlatformClassLoader() and getSystemClassLoader() can be made more concise by omitting "for delegation" from the method summary.

Specification

    public static ClassLoader getPlatformClassLoader()

     /**
