Created attachment 175802 [details]
patch to java/index.xml

(NB: this patch has separately been submitted to the FreeBSD Foundation for their review.)

When the Foundation's website was recently updated, the obsolete Java bits were apparently not carried over.  These JDK/JRE components were for an earlier version of Java, in which the Foundation sponsored a verificiation process by Sun Microsystems (later Oracle).  Recent evolution in the open source Java space has rendered the need to go through this expensive and tedious process obsolete.

Rather than try to coordinate reinstating these obsolete bits, the following patch removes the link and notes the historical nature of the effort.
