What is JustJ? Where can I find an overview of the project -- what it makes, who runs it, what are its goals?

I am a user of an Eclipse distribution known as LiClipse. Someone recently suggested that adding a JustJ Eclipse downloads URL to my copy of Eclipse would solve a problem. But I don't know anything about "JustJ". I want to learn more.

The page https://download.eclipse.org/justj/www/?page=download has a heading "High Level Overview", but the section below it is empty.

The page https://www.eclipse.org/justj/?page=documentation seems like it should link to the full documentation. But I see no link to an overview.

So, what is the overview of JustJ?

And to the maintainers of the pages linked above: a brief high level overview would be a nice thing to add, for newcomers like me.

I found this: https://www.eclipse.org/justj/?page=index . The first text on this page is a nice overview: "JustJ provides fully-functional Java™ runtimes that can be redistributed by Eclipse Projects." This sentence, and a link this page, would be a nice addition to the "High Level Overview" section on https://download.eclipse.org/justj/www/?page=download and to the Documentation page.

I'm not sure how you arrived at the download page first, but the main page is this one:

https://www.eclipse.org/justj/

That is effectively the same page as this one:

https://www.eclipse.org/justj/?page=index

That's also the page this linked by the big JustJ image on every page and also the link on the breadcrumbs (the JustJ) in the title area of every other page.

I'm not sure it makes sense to duplicate content across the pages. I suppose the icon isn't obvious as the "home" link but the breadcrumb seems kind of obvious, at least when one stops to think about it being present on all the Eclipse.org pages...
