ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Documentation issue only.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The class (interface) javadoc comment for javax.swing.ComboBoxModel uses the sentence "This interface extends ListDataModel and adds [...]"
There is no such ListDataModel interface. There are ListDataEvent and ListDataListener types, and in prose we speak of a "list data model", but a formal type of that name is not part of Swing. The actual parent interface is ListModel (no "Data").
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Read the ComboBoxModel class documentation.
2. Become momentarily confused.
3. Realize it's a minor historical artifact that never got cleaned up.
FREQUENCY : always
