      In the javax.management.remote docs there are references to the historical JMX Remote 1.4 specification, which may imply that parts of that spec are what we implement and support in the JDK.

      The phrase "specification of this functionality is completed by Part III of the JMX Specification, version 1.4" is misleading, and should be removed, to avoid implying that our implementation is extended by the historical spec.

      Mentioning the historic JMXMP Connector and Generic Connector, and having links to the very old JMX Remote reference implementation in the Javadoc, may misleadingly imply these are a supported part of the JDK. These should be removed.

      A "See also:" mention of the "JMX Specification, version 1.4" is valid context.
