RFR - JDK-8200434 - String::align, String::indent (code review)

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Jim,

Overall it looks fine. Some quibbles on the wording and the test.


The spec for the align() and align(n) methods in String.java show a 
possibly misleading inconsistency.
The first line says:

    Removes vertical and horizontal white space margins.

But later align() says:

    Trailing spaces are  preserved.

The former implies all 4 margins but then it seems only to apply to 3 of 
the 4.  (top, left, bottom).
I'm not sure if there some wording that can clear that up in the first line.


AlignIndent.java:

  - Line 28: this test should not need /othervm nor the explicit @compile

  - There should be tests of align(n) with negative values.

  - The for for for for structure doesn't follow the style guide.


Thanks, Roger

(Sorry for the duplicates, I missed core-libs the first time)
