Updating OpenJDK project pages

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Volker,

We ran across the same problem. It was relatively painless to do a quick
file exchange and edit for Valhalla, but it would be nice if the pages were
more accessible for editing (with some restrictions of course!).

@dalibor - is this a question to send to web-discuss?

Cheers,
Martijn
