README:
This file should be located at the top of the jdk Mercurial repository.

See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.

Simple Build Instructions:

1. Download and install a JDK 6 from
   http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
   Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK 6.

2. Either download and install the latest JDK7 from
   http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/, or build your own complete
   OpenJDK7 by using the top level Makefile in the OpenJDK Mercurial forest.
   Set the environment variable ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH to the location of
   this latest JDK7 or OpenJDK7 build.

3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
   cd make && gnumake sanity
   See README-builds.html if you run into problems.

4. Do a partial build of the jdk:
   cd make && gnumake all

5. Construct the images:
   cd make && gnumake images
   The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
