JDK-8029891 - Deadlock detected in java/lang/ClassLoader/deadlock/GetResource.java
Description
When working on JDK-8029891, solutions were sought to avoid cluttering up the Properties JavaDoc with new overridden methods.  The @hidden tag was considered, then later rejected, per [1].  Unfortunately, the @hidden tag on java.util.Properties.replace(Object, Object, Object) was not removed from the changes ([2], line 1331), and ended up in the source.

This unintentional @hidden tag should be removed.
