Why is JavaFX Documentation seperate from Java 8 Documentation?

I recently learned that Java FX2 is replacing Swing for GUI development in Java. I was trying to check it out in the API documentation and could not find javafx listed like javax.swing is. I found that the documentation for JavaFX was created but seperate from Java 8 docs.

My question is, why would Oracle do this? Is there something about the structure of the API that I do not understand?

JavaFX is not jsred and an implementation detail of oraclejdk/openjdk, whereas swing is part of the standard
