OpenJDK for Slackware (version current).

Oracle no longer allows their Java binaries to be included with OS
distributions, so Slackware can no longer provide updates for the jre package
in the "L" series or the jdk package in "extra" department.
OpenJDK fills the gap. It is the open sourced companion to Oracle's binary
releases, bundled with additional software.
Check the two directories "pkg64" (containing 64bit versions) and "pkg" (for
the 32bit version of Slackware).  If you want to install my pre-built packages,
then all you really need are "rhino" which is the JavaScript engine,
"icedtea-web" which is the browser plugin, and one of "openjdk" or "openjre"
packages, depending of course on whether you need the full Java compiler suite
or only the Java Runtime Environment.

You will also find packages for apache-ant, xalan, xerces.  These are only
needed if you want to compile OpenJDK yourself afterwards.

If you want to build your own packages instead of using mine, then follow
the instructions in the sources/README.txt file.
