Outdated documentation

[Manuel Rigger]

Hi all,

the HotSpot documentation [1] does not seem up-to-date in some points. 
The serviceability site was last updated in 2007 and contains many dead 
source code links [2]. It is also strange to see sentences such as "We 
are investigating the possibility of … in JDK 7" when we are already 
past this version. The other sites refer to the permanent generation 
which was removed in JDK 8.

Could someone with sufficient permission update these parts in the 
documentation? If not, it would at least be helpful to place a 
disclaimer that the documentation was written for the Java version X and 
might be outdated, and remove the dead links.

Is this the right place to send such a request? Should I create a bug 
report for this?
