I see there is a version 4 now :)
ConcurrentMap:
In replaceAll:
261 * <p>This implementation assumes that the ConcurrentMap
cannot contain null ...
is this intended to be implSpec or implNote? Currently it appears to be
implSpec. Ditto for the same text in compute*, merge
Generally is the use of "this implementation" versus "the default
implementation" significant? I thought perhaps the former was for
implNotes and the latter implSpec ?
----
HashMap:
None of the overriding implementations have any @throws for unchecked
exceptions. Some of them may no longer apply but I'm not sure they all
do - eg ClasscastException.
Otherwise I have no further comments. :)
Thanks,
David

Once these implementations have stabilized we need to check what the implNote says. It makes no sense to me for the impl note to describe anything other than the core logic of the actual implementation - particularly referring to putIfAbsent when put is used, or replace when put is used.
