hi!

i wanted to do some update of the homepage of the java project
as it is currently still talking about 1.1.8 jdk, which is quite
outdated.

i thought it is best to introduce the freebsd foundations' jdk in
some sentences.

what do you think of it?

see my patch for details
-josef

ps: isn't it possible to get the doc's sgml entities into www sgml
pages? how do i acheive things like &os; in a webpage?
