      (re-submitted against 1.5.0)

      The JRE README file refers to the "Java Web Start Product" which
      is obsolete terminology, since JWS has been integrated into the JRE.
      We should instead list the files that can be excluded.

      The README says:

      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Optional Files and Directories
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions:

      ...

      In addition, the Java Web Start product may be excluded from
      redistributions. The Java Web Start product is contained in
      a file named javaws-1_2-solaris-sparc-i.zip,
      javaws-1_2-solaris-i586-i.zip, javaws-1_2-linux-i586-i.zip,
      or javaws-1_2-windows-i586-i.exe, depending on the platform.

      The file can be viewed at:
      http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.4.2/jre/README

      but its master copy is in the J2SE workspace at:
      j2se/src/share/doc/jre/README

      The same is true of the SDK README.html file whose master copy is at:
      j2se/src/share/doc/jdk/README.html
