Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The javadoc for  javax.swing.Timer points to a link on how to use timers in the Swing Connection that no longer exist.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Either the link should be updated to the current link (if it exist) or removed.
ACTUAL -
The link points to http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/timer/ which redirect to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html

URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/Timer.html
Comments
This link is correct in the JDK 8 specification: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/swing/Timer.html Need to fix in JDK 7 only.

These are all approved for deferral to JDK 9 so you can update the FixVersion to state JDK 9. Kind regards, Mathias
