RFR (S): 8164057: Fix @since for java.net.Inet[46]Address

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

please review this small fix.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8164057
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8164057.0/

The root cause of the wrong "@since" tags probably is that the classes Inet[46]Address had been created as copy of InetAddress. InetAddress itself obviously exists since 1.0 and methods have been added over time. The copying of InetAddress towards Inet[46]Adress has been done for Java 1.4 and hence all Javadoc that was tagged @since <1.4 is not correct for the new classes.

I suggest to remove all @since <= 1.4 since the classes themselves are annotated "@since 1.4" which would imply all unannotated methods exist from 1.4 onwards. Alternatively we could a) remove only occurences of @since < 1.4 or b) change all @since < 1.4 to @since 1.4.

Best regards
Christoph
