Chasing changing repository locations

[David Holmes]

Hi Adrian,

You need to make sure you're subscribed to the project email lists - it 
was jdk10-dev and now just jdk-dev at openjdk.java.net. Then you would have 
seen about all the changes to the repos. Check the archives for discussion:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2017-November/000087.html

In theory they should never need to change again. ;-)

Cheers,
David
