Use it.

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/>

I got the URL from my browsing history when I replied. At first I
tried to edit the version from 1.5.0 to 1.6, but that returned a 404.
I made a few more guesses but all failed... then I gave up and just
post the 1.5 one.

Sun sure has a weird way of naming things... and they just can't
design a scheme and follow through with it.

If you have installed various versions of JDK and JRE on a Windows
machine, you'd notice the mess Sun created in your registry. And the
JDK folder names.

And since the weird naming involves the registry, I'm not convinced
this is because of those evil marketing guys. ;)
