I think you need to qualify this to prevent confusion, because there are 
libraries that also use the com.sun namespace that are not part of the 
JDK, so are not JDK-specific nor internal only, e.g. 
https://github.com/java-native-access/jna, the reference implementation 
of JakartaMail (JavaMail).
