The 205(!) files updated in java desktop look fine.
I estimate that 99% of them were JavaBeans references.

Since I overshot by 2 files I noticed in logging we still have a 
reference to "Java 2"
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mr/rev/8249205/src/java.logging/share/classes/java/util/logging/package-info.java.udiff.html

+ * the Java 2 platform's core logging facilities.


Looking at the raw patch I then saw a couple of others

+ * in the JDBC 2.0 API (Java 2 SDK,

+ * Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition,


Another clean up task for another day or add it to this patch ?
