Agreed!
It probably comes from when the JLS (Java Language Specification) books
were the oonly place were the core packages were described in detail.
They dropped the description of the libraries in later editions though.
I believe the term JDK wasn't used in the early days. I remember talking
about the JCL (1e edition, 2e edition, supplemental) because that is the
abbrivation of the Addison Wesley book series most of us use to lookup
details not found in other places.
Cheers,
Mark
