</span>We mimic how upstream lays out files (including dupes). As for why there<br>
are duplicate files in the first place -- I am not sure, it may be due<br>
to historical reasons when the files in the JDK (bin/) differed from the<br>
files in the JRE (jre/bin/). The docs don't shed much light on it other<br>
than saying that they are identical:<br>
