Research direction

Start with the old documentation at docs/sdk/java and inspect which content needs backward-compatible references to the new documentation. Confirm the destination for those references before editing; the work is done when the old docs point readers to the new docs and remain usable until later removal.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

documentation P2

For backward compatibility update the old https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/tree/main/docs/sdk/java docs content to reference the new docs.

Then after while we can remove it al together.
