Should be removed.  Modern versions support generics natively.

Just installs a JAR, can depend on a higher version of the JDK instead.

Should be removed, as should all JDKs < 1.4 except for jdk13.

> java/jfc                 Java Foundation Classes (JFC)/Swing

Should be removed.

> java/jre                 Standard Java Platform for running Java programs

Should be removed.

> java/tya                 A ``100% unofficial'' JIT-compiler for java

Should depend on jdk13 instead of jdk11.
