Description

The parameter descriptions for maxIdle and minIdle incorrectly refer to active connections:

Parameter Default Description
initialSize 0 The initial number of connections that are created when the pool is started.
maxActive 8 The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time, or negative for no limit.
maxIdle 8 The maximum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool, without extra ones being released, or zero for no limit.
minIdle 0 The minimum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool, without extra ones being created, or zero to create none.

A connection cannot be both active and idle by definition.
