Updated java policy



Hi

I have now made some updates to the current java policy.

I have removed some things about the PROPOSED status. It is about
to be a sharp version so that part is wiped out.

Changes related to JNI and GCJ.

    <para>
      Both are shipped as Java bytecode (<filename>*.class</filename>
      files, packaged in a <filename>*.jar</filename> archive) and with
      an "Architecture: all" since Java bytecode is supposed to be portable.
      It may additionally be shipped as machine code, as produced for example
      by the GNU Compiler for Java, in a separate architecture-specific
      package.
    </para>

    <para>
      If the Java code depends on code written in a "native" language,
      for example Java Native Interface code, the compiled native code
      &should; be shipped in a separate architecture-specific package.
      The package containing Java bytecode should depend on this
      package.
    </para>

That is the major changes.

Regards,

// Ola
