This is good stuff. Back in 2010 I got OpenJDK compiled and running on the Microsoft Toolchain. I never ran the jtreg tests, but, the binaries worked for running basic Tomcat but definitely not for trying to run Eclipse. These days I am a pretty big fan of MSYS2. In my personal experiences wit

My two cents are: I think this is great. To say the least, it has historically been challenging and/or non-standard to build OpenJDK (most especially on Windoze). I think first impressions when building a project are very important. People can become quickly enthused (and stay with it to become a

I too like the idea that the version of OpenJDK that comes pre-built with your Linux distro is pre-installed and just works. But... I wonder how/if the Linux Distro's will configure simultaneously with JDK6 & JDK7 when they are both mainstream. On Sun, Jan 2, 2011 at 9:28 PM, David Herron wrote:

Hi Shea, I am sorry for my ignorance, but... why is /opt not an appropriate location for OpenJDK?? OpenSCG's installer binaries for OpenJDK 6 are built on CentOS 4, install in a directory under /opt (when installed as root). They seem to work fine in all the modern Linux Distro's without doing a

I'm pretty sure JDK7 is still similar to building JDK6 on Windoze... To get you over the hump u could try bootstrapping your build with a recent Windows JDK7 Proprietary Binary as built by Oracle. This will likely let you build only the areas you are interested in working on. Note that you

Aren't the binary plugs still used for vanilla OpenJDK 6 builds that don't use Iced Tea?? I know I had to set them up in the OpenSCG build farm for Windoze and Linux, last year when I started with Build 16, and they are still there but perhaps are unneeded. I also have the messy/scary/confusing
