The official, and only up-to-date resource for how to contribute changes to the 
OpenJDK is the [OpenJDK Developers' Guide.](https://openjdk.org/guide). It's 
one of the top links on the OpenJDK home page so it shouldn't be that difficult 
to find. One problem is of course that the CONTRIBUTING.md which is the link 
just before the guide refers to the slightly outdated building.md ... That's 
the problem that should be fixed here.  The text about how to contribute in 
building.md should be removed as it doesn't belong in that document at all, and 
is wrong.
