Hello,

Please review the simple fix below for

     6556996: (ann spec) SuppressWarnings strings should be documented
     http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6556996

the webrev is at

     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/6556996.0/

and the patch is below. In brief, the only required string to be 
recognized in the SuppressWarnings annotation is "unchecked", which has 
been required by the JLS since Java SE 5. I made that adjustment to the 
documentation of the SuppressWarnings type. In addition, I added more 
@jls links relating the documentation of various annotation type to the 
JLS sections which discuss them.

Thanks,

-Joe
