The API may be a list of information, but it is correlated, not uncorrelated. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Yes, they are for copyright consideration.
When you look at the
complex web of ideas that lie behind the API Specification, the complex web that
Oracle are working on to this day, that is enough to make beads of sweat on your
brow.
When you look at creative expression fixed in the medium of the
Java API Specification
compilation of compilations, it becomes "nothing but long lists of
uncorrelated information" listed in alphabetical order.
The first page
on the website lists all the packages and all the classes in alphabetical order.
The complex web of ideas that you might be able to imagine from the titles and
description quickly disappears as you link down through the
layers.--- Regards
