Some aspects of it look copied to me - the class's 10 fields are in identical order. Some parameters to the function look lifted straight from code generated by disassembling bytecode (flag flag1 set set1). However, these may be explainable by some other means.

They were probably listed in that order in the documentation, and the javadocs are generated from the source.

It'd be more suspect if they were in a different order, especially if they were ordered as if they were in a hashtable that was iterated over.

Interesting but unconvincing theory. I have never seen public API documentation that lists private fields before. This certainly makes no mention of private fields: http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/sun/security/provider/certpat...
