JDK 8
8u152 b05Fixed
Description
https://java.net/downloads/heap-snapshot/hprof-binary-format.html, in the section on "Handling of Arrays" contains what I think is a typo:

< There will be a "LOAD CLASS" tag for type type of each array in the dump.
----
> There will be a "LOAD CLASS" tag for the type of each array in the dump.

That is: s/type type/the type/.
Comments
Demos and samples are removed as part of http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/298 JDK-8164813 for 9

change should be made in file manual.html present at jdk/src/share/demo/jvmti/hprof/manual.html in JDK 8 As demo/jvmti/hprof/manual.html is removed in JDK 9 it doesn't affect JDK 9.
