[Javaweb-submit] additions and updates to the GNU Java package list

[Per Bothner]

My goal was to update the java/packages.html file
by adding various new Kawa sub-packages.  I thought
I'd try to check it in myself.  However, the cvs version
of the web page is very different from the actual page
I got by saving the page.  In some ways the actual page
is better (using lower-case html tags), and in some ways
the cvs version is better (use of relative urls).  But
I don't feel authorized resolving those differences!
