[meta-java][PATCH] docs: add bootstrap-flow.txt

[André Draszik]

From: André Draszik <andre.draszik@jci.com>

Summarises the bootstrap of the java envrionment, rather than having
to find this described in some wiki page that was copied over from
OE-classic and never updated.

Re: [meta-java][PATCH] docs: add bootstrap-flow.txt

[Richard Leitner]

Hi,
this is a note to let you know that I've just added this patch to the
master-next branch of the meta-java repository at
	git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-java

As soon as it has gone through some more testing it will likely be
merged to the master branch.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

regards;Richard.L
