Java-Time Clock Implementation Note

[Stephen Colebourne]

In JDK 9, the implementation of Clock has been improved to be better
than millisecond in most cases [1]. However, I've just noticed that
the Javadoc of the "Implementation Note" is now wrong. It says:

"The clock implementation provided here is based on
System.currentTimeMillis(). That method provides little to no
guarantee about the accuracy of the clock. Applications requiring a
more accurate clock must implement this abstract class themselves
using a different external clock, such as an NTP server."

This needs to be updated to indicate that the implementation is no
longer based on System.currentTimeMillis(). Since this is an
"implementation note" I hope that this doesn't affect the
specification, or need too much process.

Is anyone willing to take this up as a JDK 9 bug?

thanks
Stephen
