Description
Translation of RuntimeMXBean.getUp time() in Java API documetation should use more exact word.

------- English -------
"getUptime

long getUptime()
    Returns the uptime of the Java virtual machine in milliseconds.

    Returns:
        uptime of the Java virtual machine in milliseconds.
-------
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/management/RuntimeMXBean.html#getUptime()

The above "uptime" is translated into Japanese word, "shuu-ryou-jikan".
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ja/docs/ja/api/java/lang/management/RuntimeMXBean.html#getUptime())

Please look into its implementation,
---
      99     public long getUptime() {
     100         long current = System.currentTimeMillis();
     101
     102         // TODO: If called from client side when we support
     103         // MBean proxy to read performance counters from shared memory,
     104         // need to check if the monitored VM exitd.
     105         return (current - vmStartupTime);
     106     }
---

According to the above, getUptime() seems to return  elapse time from  VM start time
to  current time.

Either of "Jikkou-jikann" or "Keika-jikan" seems appropriate as translation of "uptime".

The Customer says they feel "shuu-ryou-jikan"in Japanese  "end of execution time" in English.
