aoqi@0: README:
aoqi@0:   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
aoqi@0:   repository. A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include
aoqi@0:   the following 6 nested repositories:
aoqi@0:     "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".
aoqi@0: 
aoqi@0:   The root repository can be obtained with something like:
aoqi@0:     hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8
aoqi@0:   
aoqi@0:   You can run the get_source.sh script located in the root repository to get
aoqi@0:   the other needed repositories:
aoqi@0:     cd openjdk8 && sh ./get_source.sh
aoqi@0: 
aoqi@0:   People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
aoqi@0:   the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
aoqi@0: 
aoqi@0:   See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about OpenJDK.

aoqi@0: 
aoqi@0:   1. If you don't have a jdk7u7 or newer jdk, download and install it from

aoqi@0:      variable.

aoqi@0:   2. Configure the build:

aoqi@0:   
aoqi@0:   3. Build the OpenJDK:
aoqi@0:        make all
aoqi@0:      The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/images/j2sdk-image
aoqi@0: 
aoqi@0: where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually
aoqi@0: is 3.81 or newer. Note that on Solaris, GNU make is called "gmake".
