     <title>More efficient package dependencies</title>
-    <para>
-      The way that Java dependencies are handled has changed in Fedora 21. Packages that do not interact with the X server or audio subsystem now depend on a new OpenJDK headless subpackage. This means installation size reduction on servers, a change that aims for efficiency.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Additionally, documentation for Java packages is now optional, saving even more space on your server. Look for the <literal>-doc</literal> subpackage for Java packages to install the accompanying documentation. 
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      If you need access to API documentation of Java libraries without javadoc subpackages, try using upstream web pages which should be accessible at homepage URL of the project in question. You can query for the URL of installed package with <command>rpm -qi <replaceable>package</replaceable> | grep '^URL'</command>
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Java packaging guidelines now also require to convert most Java packages to have <literal>Requires: java-headless</literal> when appropriate. Detailed information about the packaging effort can be found at <ulink url="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#BuildRequires_and_Requires" />

+    <title>Improved Ivy Packaging</title>
+    <para>This change aims to improve the process for packaging
+    Java software that uses Apache Ivy to manage build
+    dependencies. Currently, it is packaged manually. Dependencies
+    must be symlinked manually, all files have to be explicitly
+    installed and there are no auto-requires. This change intends
+    to simplify Ivy packaging in a similar way to that which was
+    done for Maven packaging. In particular, the following
+    improvements have been implemented:</para>

+        <para>automatic resolution of Ivy artifacts,</para>
