[9] Review Request: 8143077 Deprecate InputEvent._MASK in favor of InputEvent._DOWN_MASK

[Jonathan Bluett-Duncan]

Hi Sergey,

I'm not a reviewer, but after reading the deprecation messages in Event.java

* @deprecated It is recommended that {@code AWTEvent} class and its
> subclasses
> *             be used instead.


I get the impression they would read better without the redundant "class"
in the middle, like so.

* @deprecated It is recommended that {@code AWTEvent} and its subclasses
> *             be used instead.


Kind regards,
Jonathan
