duke@2: README:
ohair@276:   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
ohair@632:   repository. A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include
ohair@632:   the following 6 nested repositories:
ohair@276:     "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".
ohair@276: 
ohair@632:   The root repository can be obtained with something like:
neugens@359:     hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8
neugens@359:   
ohair@632:   You can run the get_source.sh script located in the root repository to get
ohair@632:   the other needed repositories:
neugens@359:     cd openjdk8 && sh ./get_source.sh
neugens@359: 
ohair@276:   People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
ohair@276:   the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
duke@2: 
ohair@632:   See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about OpenJDK.

ohair@632:   1. If you don't have a jdk7u7 or newer jdk, download and install it from
duke@2:      http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
ohair@632:      Add the /bin directory of this installation to your PATH environment

ohair@632:   2. Configure the build:
ohair@632:        bash ./configure
duke@2:   
ohair@632:   3. Build the OpenJDK:
ohair@320:        make all
ohair@632:      The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/images/j2sdk-image
duke@2: 
ohair@320: where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually
ohair@632: is 3.81 or newer. Note that on Solaris, GNU make is called "gmake".
