- 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)
