The change made it consistent. **If one is going to ever revert that controversial part of the change, please update both lines so that the file remains consistent.** Line 281 is (was!) consistent with line 277 because it is distinguishing a synchronized "static method" from a synchronized "instance method". There was no need to make any change to line 281 because of the blessed-order of modifiers as defined for method declarations! This text is just prose. Now for consistency you should change line 277 to refer to a "non-static synchronized method" (as "instance synchronized method" would be truly awful). Thanks, David. You've provided a clear and convincing argument, and I can see the inconsistency I introduced. I can revert that particular piece back if you think that it would be appropriate. That said, this line will have to be filtered out every time the script is run. I could probably provide a more involved script that harnesses the power of AST (com.sun.source.doctree) to try to filter out prose, but it would be impossible to beat the simplicity of the current script; and simplicity is also important. Given this is prose, the adjectives should be separated by commas: "a synchronized, static method", and "a synchronized, instance method". Does that avoid the problem with the script? Line 49 places "static synchronized" in code font, implying that it is referring to the actual method modifiers and as such using the blessed order is appropriate. Line 49 does not need to be "consistent" with line 281. If line 49 used a normal font so the words "static" and "synchronized" were just prose then either order would be perfectly fine in terms of English language, but then you could make a case for having it be consistent with line 281. I've been always having hard time with modifiers being not enclosed in `@code` in the first place; they are barely En

Pragmatically, fix the script to ignore those keywords on comment lines. Learn Perl, its just a regular expression pattern match and replace expression. All of the changes have to be manually reviewed by the author and then the reviewers. Checking unneeded changes is part of every mechanical change.

I just ran the script on the desktop module and we havea few instances there too, so I've filed a clean up bug on it. - PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6213

Here's a bit of archaeology. I found the original JDK-8136583 patch, which has moved from where it was in the RFR to https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/jdk9/blessed-modifier-order/. That patch doesn't change Object.java. The RFR thread mentions neither that javadoc change nor any javadoc change for that matter. So either the script was different, or Martin filtered that line (from Object.java) out before creating the webrev. Now, in his followup thread on core-libs-dev, http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2015-September/035273.html, Martin specifically pointed out javadoc changes and said that they seem fine to him. - PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6213

It's tough when a natural language clashes with a programming language. I appreciate that this particular clash might cause discomfort to native English speakers. (This reminds me of that _DOSASCOMP_ mnemonic for adjective order.) That said, consider the following pragmatic aspect.

RFR: 8276348: Use blessed modifier order in java.base
This PR follows up one of the recent PRs, where I used a non-canonical modifier order. Since the problem was noticed [^1], why not to address it at mass? As far as I remember, the first mass-canonicalization of modifiers took place in JDK-8136583 in 2015 [^2]. That change affected 1780 lines spanning 453 files. Since then modifiers have become a bit lose, and it makes sense to re-bless (using the JDK-8136583 terminology) them. This change was produced by running the below command followed by updating the copyright years on the affected files where necessary: $ sh ./bin/blessed-modifier-order.sh src/java.base The resulting change is much smaller than that of 2015: 39 lines spanning 21 files.
