Description
I was browsing the docs recently, and I noticed that many 
swing classes don't have an @since tag indicating which 
release they were introduced in.  

Examples: JComponent, javax.swing.Timer 

It turns out that unless otherwise stated, Swing classes 
are considered to have been added to the public core in 1.2.  

We should add a note to the package documentation to say so.  
It would let developers know how old various swing classes are, 
and give them a baseline for the APIs in those classes.
