Most of the group pages (http://openjdk.java.net/groups/<group>) have a 
list of APIs and/or source directories for the group. However for the 
refactoring changes that you are talking about, warnings, coinification, 
etc. then slicing and dicing to that level of granularity should not be 
needed; the code review and sponsorship overhead will be more than the 
actual work. That said, the core and client changes have different 
integration forests and it does make things a bit easier (integrators 
doing merging in particular) if you can do a very coarse grain split 
into core and client. When I say client then I mean AWT, 2D, Swing and 
related areas. When I say "core" I mostly mean headless (libraries, 
security, networking, ..). In recent times this relatively coarse grain 
split has worked well.
