JDK 25.0.2 base repository

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi,

Yes, you can either sync below that change or pull jdk25.0.3+0, which 
is the tag that does not yet contain any 25.0.3 changes.

Basically it's like when testing a *.0.1 while changes for *.0.2
have already been pushed to the respective repo.

It would be more obvious if there were build tags for jdk25.0.2.

Best regards, Goetz.
