Or the class is specific to OpenJDK, not sure. Slowly getting confused, not feeling comfortable starting a dozen of different machines to check the JDK installation... Dammned, isn't there a website where we see such things side by side? But StringBuilder has a @since 1.5 tag, so this is the earliest moment for this class to look for a javadoc. Bye P.S.: It really seems that it is filtered out, David Flanagan was confronted with it: This is the first instance that I am aware of of a public class extending a non-public one, and it raises questions about documenting the public one. The javadoc team dealt with it by simply pretending that the non-public intermediary class does not exist. Now I have to figure out how to document this for Java in a Nutshell. http://www.davidflanagan.com/2004/10/abstractstringbuilder.html
