Bringing these pages to more recent version is better than the current so outdated version even it's just a snapshot.

The list of new pages look okay (but I didn't validate the content.)

Please review a change to refresh the content of the man pages (*.1 files) in the main repo, to contain essentially the exact same content as found in the Oracle JDK man pages.

Going forward, the intent is to bulk-update these pages towards the end of each release cycle, until we can eventually open source the underlying files from which the man pages are derived, at which time these files will be deleted. This email is to build-dev at ojn, even though there are no Makefile changes, because that list includes the folk mostly likely to make direct use of these files.  It is also cc jdk-dev at ojn so that the OpenJDK community is generally aware of this change. Note, although the current man pages share a history with the previous versions of these files, the transformations that have occurred between then and now make it all but impossible to compare the versions side by side with diff. For those folk wanting to review the content, it is best to look at the "New" or "Raw" files in the webrev. -- Jon JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8225134 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jjg/8225134/webrev.00/webrev/
