Is the above text correct on all platforms? If it is not always MRI then how the user should use the icon? instanceof+cast? BTW an example does not show how to solve the bug itself, on how to access the "large icons".

Need to clarify: the implSpec is a part of the specification so can we point the non public "ShellFolder" class?

implSpec marks that the paragraph below describes the details and logic of the default implementation and not the API specification. This tag also says that it can be changed in overriding or extending methods so it is Ok to specify non-public class to help describe the implementation specifics.

As for the correctness on all platforms - that's the end goal of this new method and i believe it should be implemented this way everywhere where technically possible. But exact implementation on all platforms except Windows is outside of the scope of this exact changeset.

The @implSpec is part of the specification, it is different from the @implNote, no?

If we will specify this method in a way that will require support on all platforms we will get tck-red immediately after this push.

Not exactly. The implNote is a note for future maintainers or people who will extend the functionality of the method. There will be no tck-red because the method is working and we did noted that we are taking into consideration the icon size and whenever technical possible we should return the multiresolution icon. So, for example, on Linux code
` FileSystemView fsv = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();

    Icon icon = fsv.getSystemIcon(new File("."));
    Icon icon2 = fsv.getSystemIcon(new File("."), 16);
    System.out.println("icon = " + icon);
    System.out.println("icon2 = " + icon2);

`
will get icon and icon2 as the same single-resolution icon - but that will change when underlying implementation will be fixed. Right now it is not technical possible to return multi-resolution icon - we do not do it on Linux. Implementing the underlaying code for different system, as i said, is outside of the scope of this change.

My point was that the implspec is a normative specification and we cannot refer to non-public classes in that documentation.

implSpec may describe the behavior of the default implementation and if it means referring the non-public API to clarify the behavior of this method i do not see any issue here.

But it is still part of the specification unlike implnote/apinote, and we cannot use non-public classes there, since other JavaSE implementations may not have this class. see discussion on the link above.

I think you can suggest usage of the implNote here - i am going from the initial description of the reason implSpec in the JEP saying that implementation and logic of it may vary between different Java SE implementations and even between different platforms so i am going with the original reasoning for implSpec tag existence. If you disagree, please file the separate issue for spec amendment once this PR is integrated. Or we can discuss it and i file follow-up bug - whatever you prefer, but i honestly think it is not a blocker and that this technical issue linger in this state for way too long.

We absolutely should NOT reference a non-API class in the public javadoc, no matter whether
it is an implNote or implSpec.
Additionally, if you add or remove an implNote or implSpec or update it for something much more than a typo you will need to revise the CSR.

Really I would need to see what the actual delta ends up being to be sure for this case.

I have updated the method documentation. Could you please take a look before i finalized the CSR again? I am really trying to push this functionality into 17 and there's not much time left. Thanks.

I think this is a weird way to say size >=1.

We should throw IAE for <=0 .

I also think we need to allow for rectangular icons, not bake it in to the spec in such strong terms that we don't.
I suppose it could be revised if a platform that needs it comes along but ...

Still not sure about failing if you exceed the maximum size.

Why ? Why not just return the largest possible - it is the same thing as other cases, we'll return the best match.

If that is what you already mean, then say it more clearly.

Ok, in order to allow rectangular items API needs to be slightly modified and tests and documentation should be amended accordingly. I did that, please take a look, once it is settled i will update and finalize CSR.

* non-existing file or a size outside of supported range.

minor grammar : add "an"or "a" as appropriate, ie change to :
"if an invalid parameter such a negative size or a null file reference"
