Documenting JDK-specific and platform specific configuration has always 
been problematic. Many of the Sun era guides and documentation are dusty 
now and aren't easy to find. We have used release notes in recent 
releases but they aren't always easy to find either. With @implNote 
descriptions, @index and more recently @systemProperty, they we have a 
set of tags that should help put some of this JDK-specific documentation 
into the javadoc.
