Funnily enough, I was just looking at exactly the same thing!  I think
those are red herrings; the japi tool seems to be getting confused
over the generics in those classes.  We get the same errors for GNU
Classpath too, yet this is one situation where we all share the same
public domain code from Doug.  You can safely ignore them.

Everything else seems sane and I found it interesting spotting a few
minor changes I'd missed such as some of the new constructors, etc.
