I don't see any reason these APIs couldn't be documented under "Non-core APIs"
along with the others: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/api-jsp-136079.html

Is this a case of the OpenJDK build not being patched to build these docs?
Or are they just not on the Oracle website?
