|  | # API Specs |

- Application Programming Interfaces are the fasted moving part of Java development

- many categories (core, AWT, extensions like 2D, 3D, ..)

- whitepapers for some categories (e.g. JDBC), core API also covered (partly) by language and VM spec

- weakest part of spec tower, mostly described by javadoc generated online documentation

- come with sources not requiring a Java source license (but that doesn't do us any good)
