Technical specifications could be more precise and either use a

The JLS mentions this in ?1.2 Notation:

So not only is Wayne right, but Sun agreed and made sure that the technical
specification was precise, even before Wayne suggested that they do so. How
very proactive of them.

Throughout this book we refer to classes and interfaces drawn from the
Java and Java 2 platforms. Whenever we refer to a class or interface
which is not defined in an example in this book using a single
identifier N, the intended reference is to the class or interface named
N in the package java.lang. We use the canonical name (?6.7) for classes
or interfaces from packages other than java.lang.

Thus the class `String' implicitly refers to `java.lang.String'

This might be a mere coincidence, but in Java code one need never explicitly
import java.lang either.
