Now that we've removed the old build system, can we please now remove the last vestiges of Sun's pre-Java 5 naming scheme?
There are also a bunch of security libs with j2 in their names - should these be renamed too, or will that cause too many compatibility issues?
I refer in particular to these directories in a typical build: images/j2re-image images/j2sdk-image images/j2sdk-server-image The "j2" nomenclature hasn't been used since 1.4.2. These should be named "jre-image", "jdk-image", and "jdk-server-image".
Simple to fix in the build files, but probably somewhat more difficult to coordinate with any necessary changes in external build/test systems. :( Might also cause an issue for some that continue to use the same "build" logic for 7u and 8u builds - but presumably this change is targetted to 9.
