Java Libraries specification

From the preface to the second edition of java language specification:

"The specifications of the libraries are now far too large to fit into this volume, and they continue to evolve. Consequently, API specifications have been removed from this book. The library specifications can be found on the Web; "

I Was looking for specification of standard library provided as part of Java Programming Language. Any pointer to it? Didn't find it on Oracle.
