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.
