Is there an easy way to see when a class was added to the JDK?
For standard API classes, you can use the @since javadoc tag which will indicate
the release it was first introduced in.
For internal classes, there is no easy way, since most don't have an @since tag.
I would probably write a script that checks the rt.jar of each of the JREs that
are archived at /java/re/jdk. The pathnames should be fairly consistent, just
the version number is different.
Chris, do you have any other ideas?
I did this process manually. Yes it's a pain, but it doesn't really take
that long, 1-2 minutes per class. As Sean said, the pathnames are fairly
consistent.
