Thank you Alan, this will clear up a lot of issues surrounding these API's.

I skimmed over the changes, paying particular attention to the httpserver and sctp packages.

Joe Darcy recently added @jdk.Supported [1] to make it possible to identify JDK-specific APIs. I'd like to add this to a number of APIs in the com.sun namespace to make it obvious these are "supported". Specifically I'm proposing to add it to: - Java Debug Interface (com.sun.jdi) - Attach API (com.sun.tools.attach) - SCTP API (com.sun.nio.sctp) - HTTP server API (com.sun.net.httpserver) - Management extensions (com.sun.management) - JDK-specific API to JAAS (com.sun.security.auth) - JDK-specific JGSS API (com.sun.security.jgss) The javadoc for all of these is generated as part of the regular JDK "docs" build and so shouldn't be controversial. There are a number of other candidates in com.sun with murkier status that I've stayed clear of for now. The webrev with the changes is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/8008662/webrev/ In a couple of cases the package description is legacy package.html so I've had to move/convert them to package-info.java. In all but one case I've added the annotation to the package-info, the one exception is com.sun.management where there is at least one type that is documented as "not supported". Joe Darcy might have suggestions on that. Otherwise this is mostly mechanical and the patch file is easier to review that the webrev. -Alan [1] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/langtools/rev/55cca2f38ee6
