Shall it just use `{@inheritDoc}`?
The javadoc generated in 7 and 8 does exactly this.

However, the new text explicitly mentions that this method changes not only orientation of this component but also of the associated popup menu.

I do not think the description of the parameter has to list all the values of `ComponentOrientation`, these are the only publicly available values any way. If a value is added in the future, the javadoc will become incorrect.
