Description
The scope of java.beans.Encoder#setPersistenceDelegate is static however
the method is not static and the javadoc doesn't mention it.  This is an 
essential aspect of the method's semantics, it enables one to register
a persistence delegate for a class once, when the class is initialized.
Comments
EVALUATION The scope of the Encoder#setPersistenceDelegate method should be documented in JavaDoc. The scope should be an instance of the Encoder class, because the method is not static.
