      currently, the "href" attribute of the <j2se> element is overloade. It means both:
      1.) this <j2se> version specification is a product version of the company identified by this URL, and
      2.) this <j2se> version can be downloaded from here (from this url).
      but in enterprise environments, it is frequently desireable to have, for example, the sun version of a jre downloadable from a url within the enterprise.
      ------
      we will add a "product" attribute, so, for example, an enterprise could say:
      <j2se version="1.5+" product="sun.com", href="http://foo.com/java/autold" />
      and download sun's version of java from a non-sun sight.
      -----
      if "href" is null, and "product" is non-null it could mean to download from the default address for that product (if there is one, in practice there may only be a default place for sun's jre's)
      -----
      if "product" is null and "href" is not null, the product will be the domain of the href, which is compatible with the existing behaviors.
      -----
      if both are null, the version specification will be a platform specification. (again this is the curent behavior).
