Add info about Java developer update in tools.html

JavaVM SDK is used to build the webkit. But It isn't related in http://webkit.org/building/tools.html.
It's ok until problems to build happen because Java SDK is not updated or not correctly.
I think this info should be added there.

+<p>Download the last Java update for developers in <a href="http://connect.apple.com/">http://connect.apple.com/</a>. Without it, problems like 'JavaVM/jni.h: No such file or directory' can happen.</p>

This would be a good thing to mention. Please add a ChangeLog entry, and submit a patch for review: <http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html>.

One note: it's not necessarily "last", it's "latest". Someone may have more comments about the wording.

Comment 2 Tony Gentilcore 2010-10-28 09:30:49 PDT

Drive-by wording suggestion:
+<li><p>Install Java for Mac OS X Developer Package</p>
+<p>Download and install the latest OS-appropriate "Java for Mac OS X Developer Package" from <a href="http://connect.apple.com/">http://connect.apple.com/</a> (located under Downloads > Java).</p>

If you aren't familiar with ChangeLogs, please see: http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html#changelogs

If you use $ webkit-patch upload to upload the patch, it should automatically add an entry to http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitSite/ChangeLog.
