There is no javadoc or example for its usage that could be found.

1I don't know jfreechart, but normally in computer graphics the winding rule determines how complex self intersecting shapes are filled. – Henry Jan 22 '19 at 18:14

As suggested here, a winding rule applies to determining the interior of a path, typically for filling or intersecting. Because a GeneralPath can have one of two different winding rules, ShapeUtils must include it in the corresponding implementation of equal(), seen here. Similarly, SerialUtils must include the attribute when serializing a GeneralPath, as seen here.
