Looks fine.

Can you file a docs issue to update the java tool reference guide [1] to 
take out the option?

These out-of-date man pages are for OpenJDK build and they were 
generated by the docs team and dropped in the repo.

Jon and I have discussed to include the man pages in our source in 
markdown and the build can generate the man pages in proper formats and 
include in the docs bundle.   Developers will update them for any change 
to CLI options and the man pages will always be up-to-date.  I think 
that's a good improvement and hope to happen some time.
