source code/docs for sun.misc.*

I came across the sum.misc.Unsafe class when reading the implementation of ForkJoinPool. But no source code or api docs were found in the JDK.

Where can I find the source code or api docs for the sun.misc.*

While such code is available (see Binyamin's post) it is generally a very bad idea to write anything that needs such code.

First, you are not generally assured that any JVM has such a class available (only JVMs descending from SUN's codebase would contain non-published, non-standard, SUN specific libraries). Also, since these are not standard libraries, you can't really depend on them being present or unchanged in subsequent releases of the SUN JVM.

For Java source code, I usually go to GrepCode
