The java.io package may seem a bit complex, but it makes perfect sense
when you learn the structure.

 
Until you try to include niceties like select/poll. Then you get into a
whole mess of extra classes/methods.
 
I suppose, given its origin in the 1990s, the Java designers thought
all nonblocking I/O should be handled through threads ...

 
That stuff is not in java.io but in java.nio and added in Java 1.4
(2002).
 
Not that many classes, but a totally different set of classes.
