I was under the impression that the general rule was that all of

com.sun is a mixed bag. There are lots of com.sun.*.internal that are
clearly JDK internal/implementation/stay-away but several useful and
documented APIs are in com.sun too (the JDK build generates the javadoc
for these). In addition there are several APIs with murkier pasts,
transitional APIs for areas that previous had a life as a standalone
technology before coming into the JDK.
