The human part of javadoc can be incorrect, although I find this doubtful. However, the actual return type of the methods, as you've discussed, are not incorrect. They might not meet expectations, but it is automatically generated, so I find it next to impossible for this to be incorrect.

I'm having a fun time playing with process and runtime and streams and the like, but some of the docs are indeed incorrect, despite what Mike is saying. I am looking at the link you sent me about the getInputStream() etc methods in class Process. Perhaps I will go look for a download link, but I don't have much space on my hd. I will post what I have so far shortly, but indeed I know the docs are wrong, because they are inconsistent. Compiling will solve the dilemma. --le
