Description
This is a doc back port corresponding to CR 6423562. It is a separate bug and not just another MR because the "might change in the future" wording is not appropriate for SE 5 (see "suggested fix"). The Hotspot XX option switch SE 5 back port is an MR of CR 6382902.
The suggested fix text has been added to Update Release Notes for 
5.0, Update 12.
Comments
EVALUATION Behavior implemented in JDK6 was backported to JDK5.0. Documentation also was backported.

SUGGESTED FIX The following is a copy of the SE 6 beta 2 release notes minus the sentences starting "At the next major..." and ending "...behavior as required". Solaris Notes The following notes apply to use of this release on Solaris platforms. o On Solaris, thread interruption of a thread attempting certain I/O operations results in interruption of the operation and the throwing of InterruptedIOException in circumstances where thread interruption is ignored on Linux and Windows platforms. This Solaris-specific I/O interruption in response to thread interruption is enabled by default, as with previous releases, but is now controllable with the new UseVMInterruptibleIO Hotspot option switch. By default, this switch is on to maintain previous behavior. If the switch is turned off with: -XX:-UseVMInterruptibleIO then the Solaris-specific I/O interruption in response to thread interruption is disabled. See bug report 4385444 for more information.
