Yes, according to japi, in 1.2:

field javax.swing.undo.StateEditable.RCSID: constant [$Id: StateEditable.java,v 
1.1.1.1 1998/10/28 06:43:54 sbb Exp $] in jdk12, but constant [] in classpath

in 1.4:

field javax.swing.undo.StateEditable.RCSID: constant [$Id: StateEditable.java,v 
1.1.1.2 2002/02/17 23:16:47 kreilede Exp $] in jdk14, but constant [] in 
classpath

This is very silly.  And for it to work for us we would have to mark
these files '-ko'.

IMO the value for these fields should be, "what're you lookin at?"
