They were never in the spec. They were always documented separately 
under a heading
something like "Other classes bundled with the JDK".

Back in Summer 2006 the JDK 7 version of the demo was revised to use 
Image I/O.

I don't know what exactly you checked but they are *not* in the openjdk 
6 source.
Here's the authoritative source repo :

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/file/d3912e74ec28/src/share/classes/com/sun/

.. .no image subdir listed there. Maybe icedtea has its own 
implementation of these.
