Description
Name: jl125535			Date: 07/12/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The @since JavaDoc tag on the Integer.decode(String) method says "1.2", when in 
fact, this method has been in since at least 1.1.8.  See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#decode(java.lang.String) and http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.lang.Integer.html#decode(java.lang.String).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Look at the JavaDoc for Integer.decode(String).

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
No @since tag, like the 1.3.1 docs, or an @since tag that is 1.1 or earlier.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
