Minimally, I would not refer to the narrative specs which are part of the platform as "Related documents" since that makes them sound weakly advisory/informational.  Perhaps something like "[Additional specifications][../specs/index.html] for the Java language...".

Also, if you're going to provide a link to the narrative specs, I'd also consider adding a reference to the external spec page (https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk25/docs/api/external-specs.html).
