Research direction
Read the Javadoc for DbxWebAuth in dropbox-sdk-java/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/DbxWebAuth.java around line 25, then compare it with the linked OAuth guide and token endpoint documentation. Update the Javadoc so its access-token lifetime description agrees with the official documentation, and verify the generated documentation wording.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
On the Javadocs for DbxWebAuth it says access tokens are valid for years:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/e8b39d1f8e6ea81b6c547ae8e66a47eb0e7be40b/dropbox-sdk-java/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/DbxWebAuth.java#L25
However the official documentation reads:
Dropbox access tokens are short lived, and will expire after a short period of time. The exact expiry time of a token is returned by the token endpoint (or the redirect URI in implicit grant) - but is generally long enough for a reasonable web session.
