If someone just coordinated their registering interest, being allocated a package, pointed to Sun's API and the collation of the results, I think this could be done fairly quickly and painlessly - [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-)
If the process worked nicely for JSR88, it could be extended for all APIs that we need. This is one place where Open Source, particularly on a project with a large community, has an enormous headstart... let's leverage it.

The only problem is that there's a lot of stuff to be documented; in JavaMail, for example, the API is 100 classes and around 800 methods -- even assuming a conservative 3 lines per method and 5 lines per class, that's almost 3000 lines of text. It's going to take a long time to put anything in there.
I'd say go for it if you're willing to put the effort in for the JavaDoc, but it should be a low priority overall.
Alex,
Agree on the level of effort involved, however I /believe/ it may be the case that for a Sun/JSR API, you have to include the Javadoc (ie the raw code isn't sufficient). I think it's worth checking what Sun's lic policy with this.
