Hey, I'd just make it all one repository as they all interdepend on

One huge "all-in-all" repository is great for integrators, porters, or
maintainers, but it isn't that convenient for developers working on
specific areas of JDK. Primarily because of the unnecessarily increased
build time.
Build time wouldn't be an issue if you could build a single component by
itself by just cd:ing into the component directory and do "make" there.
The problem for many developers with the all-in-one repository solution
is the time it takes to clone everything (5-6 minutes).
Regards //Johan
Since it's always possible to make a clone of the whole 'forest', and
hence get all the repos virtually at once, I don't really see any
problems with making some parts of the class (and native) libraries
separate repositories.
