Hi
While looking for README-builds.html, I came across the following
outdated README: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/file/tip/README
An equally outdated file is in the langtools repository:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/langtools/file/tip/README
In my opinion, these should be updated, analog to what was done in the
other repositories (corba, hotspot, etc.)
On a side note, the OpenJDK page of the build group [1] contains 2
broken links:
"OpenJDK7 Build README" should link to
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
"OpenJDK8 Build README" should link to
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
And it might also be useful to add a link for OpenJDK9:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
Hi Anthony,
I apolize for the long overdue reply.
Thanks for your problem report, and assistance in providing correct links!
I have now updated the build web page.
Regarding the jdk README file: Funny, I've never even noticed that it
existed. :-) I agree that it is not up to date. In fact, none of the
sub-repo README files seems fully up to date. I believe they should do
nothing more than to point to the top-level build README. I have created
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140394 to track this.
