Hello,
I want to try out a small contribution to the JDK and wanted to
build the JDK first,
before I change the code.
I forked and cloned the jdk following the instructions at The OpenJDK
Developers' Guide – OpenJDK Developers’ Guide
<https://openjdk.org/guide/#cloning-the-jdk>

I am on Windows 11.
These instructions are given on the page but I am unsure which of these to
execute since I have already forked and cloned the git repo

$ wget 
https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk16/7863447f0ab643c585b9bdebf67c69db/36/GPL/openjdk-16_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
$ tar xzf openjdk-16_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf zip make gcc g++ libx11-dev
libxext-dev libxrender-dev libxrandr-dev libxtst-dev libxt-dev
libcups2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libasound2-dev
$ cd jdk
$ sh ./configure --with-boot-jdk=$HOME/jdk-16/
$ make images


Do I still need to do the wget?
Also, I wondered if I should use book jdk-17 instead of jdk-16 as in the
instructions above.
thanks,
Anil
