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outdated.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

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?

- <p>We currently have support for 2.2.x, 3.x, 4.x and 5-CURRENT FreeBSD
- Systems for &jdk; 1.1.8. Anything prior to FreeBSD 2.2 (such as FreeBSD
- 2.1.7.1) is not supported.</p>
+ <p>The FreeBSD Foundation has negotiated a license with Sun Microsystems to
+ distribute FreeBSD binaries for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE™) and
+ Java Development Kit (JDK).</p>
- <p><b>Newsflash!</b> The FreeBSD Foundation has secured a license from
- Sun Microsystems to distribute a native FreeBSD version of both the
- Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE™).
- Thanks to the great efforts of the FreeBSD Java team, these should
- be available for inclusion with a future release of FreeBSD.
- See <a href="newsflash.html">Newsflash page</a> for details.</p>
+ <p>The current release of the JDK and JRE available via the FreeBSD Foundation
+ is 1.3.1. These binaries have been tested and certified to run with FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
+ but may also work on other 4.X releases. These binaries are not intended for use
+ with FreeBSD 5.X, due to a binary compatibility issue the FreeBSD Foundation
+ is working with the FreeBSD release engineering team to resolve.</p>
