JDK-5017749 - (reflect spec) reflection classes may need additional API for generic signatures
Description
The javadoc comments in java.lang and java.lang.ref need to be modified
to reflect the generic signatures of the classes and methods.

How this is done depends on what facilities exist in javadoc to support
type parameter names.
Comments
EVALUATION This should be taken care of as soon as we know how to specify generic types. The documentation needs to be fixed before tiger ships beta. -- iag@sfbay 2003-03-11 Bugs 5003030 and 5017749 describe the work that needs to be done in this area. Closing as duplicate. -- iag@sfbay 2004-07-16
