Actually ... the spelling changed between JDK 1.1 beta 2, and the
final version of JDK 1.1.
In beta2, we used "archives". For the final version, to be compatible
with the tag that Netscape had already introduced in Navigator 3.0.x,
we changed that to "archive."
So the example online is a bit misleading since it works with the
latest and greatest JDK release but that isn't yet available for you
to download! It should be available to you very soon.
Thanks for pointing this out and I'll add a word of explanation to
