[arch-announce] Java users: manual intervention required before upgrade

To circumvent a conflicting files issue, manual intervention is required **only
if package `java-common` is installed**. This can be checked with the following
command:


$ pacman -Q java-common

java-common ...


If so, please run the following **prior** to upgrading:


# archlinux-java unset

# pacman -Sydd --asdeps java-runtime-common

:: java-runtime-common and java-common are in conflict. Remove java-common?
[y/N] y

# archlinux-java fix


You can then go ahead and upgrade:


# pacman -Su


Please note that new package [`java-runtime-common`][1] does **not** use nor
support forcing `JAVA_HOME` as former package `java-common` did. See the [Java
wiki page][2] for more info.
