+Liberica JDK is a distribution of the Java Development Kit (JDK)
+developed by BellSoft. It is a free and open source implementation of
+the Java platform, and it provides compatibility with the Java SE
+standard while also offering additional features and optimizations. All
+Liberica JDK builds pass the Technology Compatibility Kit verification
+before release.
+
+Liberica JDK supports many Java versions, including both the latest and
+legacy versions. It supports x86 64/32 bit, ARM, and other
+architectures.
+
+There are 3 Liberica JDK distribution flavors:
+* Standard version is best suited for server and desktop deployments
+ that do not require any additional components;
+* Full version of Liberica includes LibericaFX, which is based on
+ OpenJFX and Minimal VM, where suitable;
+* Lite version of Liberica works best for cloud deployments and is
+ optimized for size;
+as well as JRE and JDK builds.
+
+This SlackBuild packages the binary Liberica JDK distribution. The .info
+file refers to the latest LTS version of the Standard Liberica JDK, but
+the script works with any version and flavor of the Liberica JDK/JRE.
