Yes, they're only comments, but updating them makes sense.

That I can't do, not the way you probably would want.   tools.jar 
contains more than the aggregate contents of the langtools repository.   
langtools just contains "the language tools", javac, javadoc, javah, 
javap, and apt.

tools.jar is built as part of building the main jdk/ repository, so to 
build tools.jar you need to bring over the jdk/ repository and build 
that. For that, you'll need to have MKS or Cygwin installed and run 
"make" in that repository.  This will generate a jdk image containing 
tools.jar. There is no easy short cut. Sorry. For full details on 
building jdk/ see the OpenJDK web pages.

We are looking at the possibility of adding an optional target to the 
langtools/make/build.xml file that would allow you to create a patched 
version of an existing tools.jar. Perhaps that would be sufficient to 
your needs.
