Looking through the whole JDK codebase, most calls of ByteOrder.nativeOrder() is to check if the underlying platform is little-endian/big-endian(e.g. #4596 ). There is no reason to only provide ByteOrder.nativeOrder while leaving big-endian/little-endian checking methods blank. For most cases(in JDK or in user code), we want a checking(byte order) rather than retrieving(byte order).
