     2   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial repository
     2   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
     3   forest. This top or enclosing repository will include a "make" directory,
     3   repository. This root repository will include a "make" directory,
     4   and a Makefile at the very top of the repository.
     4   and a Makefile for building the entire OpenJDK.
     5   It should also include the 6 repositories: "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools",
     5   A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include the following
     6   "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".
     6   6 nested repositories:
       
     7     "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".
       
     8   There are also several source downloads for the jax* repositories that
       
     9   will be needed.
       
    10 
       
    11   This one root repository can be obtained with something like:
       
    12     hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7
       
    13   To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run:
       
    14     cd openjdk7 && sh ./get_source.sh
       
    15   (This is identical to using the Mercurial Forest Extension command 
       
    16    'hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7').
       
    17   People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
       
    18   the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
