Hello,

Please review the simple fix below for

    6556996: (ann spec) SuppressWarnings strings should be documented
    http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6556996

the webrev is at

    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/6556996.0/

and the patch is below. In brief, the only required string to be recognized in the SuppressWarnings annotation is "unchecked", which has been required by the JLS since Java SE 5. I made that adjustment to the documentation of the SuppressWarnings type. In addition, I added more @jls links relating the documentation of various annotation type to the JLS sections which discuss them.

Thanks,

-Joe
