[9] RFR of 8074937: ServerSocket.accept() API Descriptions should include past tense

[Brian Burkhalter]

Identical verbiage is in fact also present in

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/ServerSocket.html#ServerSocket-int-int-

and

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/ServerSocket.html#ServerSocket-int-int-java.net.InetAddress-

To wit:

"The backlog argument is the requested maximum number of pending connections on the socket. Its exact semantics are implementation specific. In particular, an implementation may impose a maximum length or may choose to ignore the parameter altogther. The value provided should be greater than 0. If it is less than or equal to 0, then an implementation specific default will be used."
