I guess openjdk shows file history from 7u23 onwards IIRC so not sure why it is showing "Initial load" and not who/what removed it. Maybe the spec wordings actually was not there but some javadoc trickery was adding the javadoc comment in to the spec document seeing it's overidden from JComponent....
I am not sure what needs to be done here...
