Hi all,

Please review this small spec change. Properties.stringPropertyNames() seems to imply that the Set it returns is modifiable. It is, but only partially. Since it's a keySet() from a Hashtable, it supports removal but not addition. This change removes the implication that the returned set is fully modifiable.

Bug report:

    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8059361

Diffs below.

Thanks,

s'marks
