Hi all ,

Whilst perusing the output from the command $ bash configure --help, in
connection with enabling/disabling parts of the build, I notice the use
of the terms FEATURE and PACKAGE but with little further information -

Aren't they "legacy" configure terminology?

I think so too. The help output from configure has a portion added by autoconf, which is very general to configure scripts and may not apply completely to the configure script in OpenJDK.

for these terms ?

Methinx that there may be the opporchancity to raise a usability 'issue'
and suggest and indeed implement, its' fix :-)

TIA ,
