In the README file, under the heading "Contents of the JDK" and the sub 
heading "Sample Code" is a description. The description could have been 
expanded, I suppose, but I'm sure that the detailed descriptions of the 
individual samples are documented where the sample is created.

Apparently, with JDK7, the sample, demo, example code has been moved to 
a separate download.
