I was under the impression that the general rule was that all of com.sun.* fell under the "jdk supported" umbrella, and the level of support was the distinction between sun.com.* and sun.* .
com.sun is a mixed bag. There are lots of com.sun.*.internal that are clearly JDK internal/implementation/stay-away but several useful and documented APIs are in com.sun too (the JDK build generates the javadoc for these). In addition there are several APIs with murkier pasts, transitional APIs for areas that previous had a life as a standalone technology before coming into the JDK. -Alan.
