Hello,
As noted by Werner [1], one of the discussions of the kinds of types in
java.lang.annotation was not updated for records. I checked
java.lang.annotation, java.lang.reflect, and java.lang.Class and found
another location to update:
JDK-8236877: Add "record" to descriptions in java.lang.{annotation,
reflect}
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8236877.0/
I kept long-lines for the review to make review the change easier; I'll
re-flow the text before pushing.
Patch below; thanks,
-Joe
