repository. A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include
the following 6 nested repositories:
"jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
There are also several source downloads for the jax* repositories that
will be needed.

This one root repository can be obtained with something like:

The root repository can be obtained with something like:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8

To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run the
get_source.sh script located in the same respository as this file:

You can run the get_source.sh script located in the root repository to get
the other needed repositories:

make sanity
See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
2. Configure the build:
bash ./configure

3. Do a complete build of the OpenJDK:
3. Build the OpenJDK:
make all
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/images/j2sdk-image
