Summary

The terminology "system-wide" should be used in serial filter classes to specify the filters that apply to a single Java Runtime environment.

Problem

Initially, the term "process-wide" was used to describe the scope of the serial filter, but to be consistent with other subsystems that apply to a single Java Runtime environment, the term "system-wide" should be used.

Solution

Replace "process-wide" with "system-wide" in serial filter classes, configurations and documentation.

Specification

Use "System-wide" instead of "Process-wide".
