I actually don't understand your question at all.
I guess question has nothing to do with PHP and it should rather be in the Geeks Lounge (correct me if I'm wrong).

I read the manual at php.net all the time. Just in case your wondering why it is because I like to try and find what I think is the best functions for the job. So that is one user that reads the manual before posting. -_-
Next...
Try not to bump 10 year old topics as it can be really annoying.

I've found that Python has excellent documentation, followed by PHP. The Windows APIs are well documented as well. Once you get accustomed to programming with any of those, you can get quite far on your own by reading their respective manuals.

That being said I haven't seen any decent documentation for Java. (Not javascript) At least nothing sorted like the php documentation.

The about 3500 classes of Java 5.0 are covered in here.

I've seen that one and it is so hard to browse with poor descriptions. If that's the best on the web then somebody really needs to document that language in much greater detail like how the php documentation has those huge pages for each function.

Well, that one (the API document) is clear enough for me, once you know what a class does, you can easily figure out what a certain method does, and how to use it.
Of course it assumes that you understand the Java language, that's the price of admission you have to pay.
It's even well structured: you first select the desired package, then you select your desired class, and after that you can see a whole list of methods belonging to that class (with an accompanying description).
You have to keep in mind that the intent of that document is rather for programmers (people who already know the language) than newbies (people who only know tad bits of the language).
