I agree with Kilon.
May be he is true about a lack of a package/class reference
documentation/system like in java or dotnet but I find the question a
little biased and  SO policy is right on that : "questions to find (...)
tools, libraries (...)  are off-topic, they tend to attract opinionated
answers and spam. Describe the problem (...)".
If he already downloaded the VM, he could have asked in the newsgroup
instead.
May be building a tool (javadoc like, extracting class and method
comments with additional tags) could be of some interest ?
Not only for newcomers.

Regards,

Alain
