From 65cf8d1c46cfdb6378b41e57a2267a8854ed608d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carol Willing Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 12:57:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Docs: Add Oracle doc link to getting started page Since there is a recommended version of JDK, it would be helpful to provide a link to the Oracle documentation. Since there are many versions of Java, those that are new or infrequent users of Java would find the link helpful. Thanks!
