Description

Name: rmT116609			Date: 07/17/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-beta-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-beta-b14, mixed mode)

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Missing "Since 1.2" tags on many parts of the documentation.  Someone should go through this and check all the methods/fields that were added since 1.2.

Example:

HttpURLConnection.getErrorStream() was since 1.2, but the docs don't say so.


Please see:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.net.HttpURLConnection.html

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#getErrorStream()

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#getErrorStream()


Not having this information makes development a bit more difficult on a 1.1 embedded system since each method must be cross checked with the 1.1 docs.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
