One reason would be that it is not used explicitly but rather
implicitly, for example via
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#openStream%28%29
Also from that page: "Protocol handlers for the following protocols are
guaranteed to exist on the search path :-
http, https, ftp, file, and jar"
In other words: it is a regular package but it is not intended to be
used directly but only via a different publicly accessible package.
Kind regards
