+README:
+ This file should be located at the top of the jdk Mercurial repository.
+
+ See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.
+
+Simple Build Instructions:
+
+ 1. Download and install a JDK 6 from
+ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
+ Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK 6.
+
+ 2. Either download and install the latest JDK7 from
+ http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/, or build your own complete
+ OpenJDK7 by using the top level Makefile in the OpenJDK Mercurial forest.
+ Set the environment variable ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH to the location of
+ this latest JDK7 or OpenJDK7 build.
+
+ 3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
+ cd make && gnumake sanity
+ See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
+
+ 4. Do a partial build of the jdk:
+ cd make && gnumake all
+
+ 5. Construct the images:
+ cd make && gnumake images
+ The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
+
