The Java backend still listed amongst the beta quality backends.
Perhaps, it now ought to be listed as mature?

==================================

More website updates.

w3/include/backends.inc:
 	Update the backend descriptions:

 	- The Java and Erlang backends are available from
 	Mercury 10.04 onwards.

 	- There is support for Mercury-level debugging (using ssdb).

w3/contact/include/people.inc:
 	Add a missing summer student.

w3/.cvsignore:
 	Ignore the generated file rss.xml.

Julien.
