This is a keyword expansion, a feature of CVS and SVN that Git doesn't

All references to GCJ/GIJ/GNU ClassPath should be removed, this is just

Chapter 3 is about update-java-alternatives. How does it relate to the PPA?

java-package is the supported solution for now. I wish we could also
include in non-free an installer similar to webupd8.org.
