Doc changes look good to me. As @kumarabhi006 pointed, a corresponding CSR is
required.
I have the same question as @azvegint suggested earlier: In case of
robot.delay() is it good to have a recommendation - "to not call on EDT" or
would it be better if the check is done by the method itself to avoid relying
on the end-user to check it?
public void delay(int ms) {
if (isEventDispatchThread()) {
throw new IllegalThreadStateException("delay() called on EDT");
}
