You seem to be missing the point bigtime here.

Its not an official library, but it is shipped as part of the jdk, Im 
not downloading it from a 3rd party. So as it is being delivered why is 
it not documented ?

Going forward surely it is a good thing for Java to be able to support 
the desktop on different oses as good as possible, why would you want to 
break this, do you develop OSX desktop applications yourself
