Hi, during the last few weeks, I put together my own step-by-step HowTo about building and running the OpenJDK on Linux/x86. It specially focuses on building and running the different HotSpot flavors (opt/debug, client/server JIT compiler, template/C++ interpreter) and contains a small evaluation of NetBeans 6.0 as a development environment for HotSpot hacking.
(I had to split it up into two entries because it was too long for the blog system:) http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simonis/archive/2008/01/hotspot_develop.html http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simonis/archive/2008/01/hotspot_develop_1.html As always, comments and corrections are highly appreciated... Regards, Volker
