I don't understand why there is a @hidden in Properties.java. There are many other methods nearby with a similar structure and I cannot see how this one is different.

The tag was added at

   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/01a8615439f0#l2.349

in the fix for 

   8029891 : Deadlock detected in java/lang/ClassLoader/deadlock/GetResource.java

+
+    /** @hidden */
+    @Override
+    public synchronized boolean replace(Object key, Object oldValue, Object newValue) {
+        return map.replace(key, oldValue, newValue);
+    }

*Brent*: Is this method any special?

Thanks
Max
