Shouldn't the Linux part also be dropped?  If so, that makes this page
mostly useless.

Perhaps this is an opportunity to document installing openjdk7 and
encourage users to
use it, while openjdk6 is more than likely on deprecation path.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Committed, thanks. 

I agree there is more updating working to be done here.  Couple of notes: 

1. This gets rid of references to a removed port and likely also stops people 
from jumping through hoops and coming asking for the patchsets for it.  I 
think that alone is good enough to get this committed in its present state. 

2. The OpenJDK6 port may continue to be maintained by the community in terms 
of security patches even though Oracle has EOL'ed JDK6.  Not clear yet if that 
will happen, but the IcedTea people certainly have expressed some interest in 
doing that.
