We are moving to a new process for generating man pages. I checked in
the two that changed for 7u40 (java and jcmd):

Please review.
Note that the copyright/license information format was approved by
Donald Smith who worked with legal.
On that final point, under the proposed change, the copyright line and
the start of the license are not contiguous. There are a number of
intervening lines:
3 .\" Arch: generic
4 .\" Software: JDK 7
5 .\" Date: 6 August 2013
6 .\" SectDesc: Basic Tools
7 .\" Title: java.1
The convention for basically every other file with a copyright and
license statement under source code control in the OpenJDK repositories
is that the copyright + license must be at the top of the file and be
contiguous.
From an engineering perspective, I think it is neither necessary nor
desirable to grant to an exception to this rule for man pages even if it
is acceptable to Don.
