Bug Description

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java is very outdated. We should not recommend this in a prominent place like this. Please lets remove this page, or update it to mention openjdk. (yes I did see the currently under review, but that was the state in Oct 2009 as well)

it's linked from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux

no wonder that every tries to install the sun-java6 packages ...
