These are not public classes. They are used internally by the Classpath
implementation.

As they aren't public classes, I don't think this is necessary. But
if you really want to, I would not object. (I personally don't care much
for inner classes all that much).
I believe all of the easy parts of java.net are already merged. What
remains is the native stuff, including the corresponding Java classes
and URL's. I think.
