+README:
+ This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
+ repository. A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include
+ the following 7 nested repositories:
+ "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "nashorn", "corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
+
+ The root repository can be obtained with something like:
+ hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9 openjdk9
+
+ You can run the get_source.sh script located in the root repository to get
+ the other needed repositories:
+ cd openjdk9 && sh ./get_source.sh
+
+ People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
+ the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
+
+ See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about OpenJDK.
+
+Simple Build Instructions:
+
+ 0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see
+ http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
+
+ 1. If you don't have a jdk8 or newer jdk, download and install it from
+ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
+ Add the /bin directory of this installation to your PATH environment
+ variable.
+
+ 2. Configure the build:
+ bash ./configure
+
+ 3. Build the OpenJDK:
+ make all
+ The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/images/j2sdk-image
+
+where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually
+is 3.81 or newer. Note that on Solaris, GNU make is called "gmake".
