-  2. Download and install the Binary Plugs for the most recent JDK7 from
-     http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/
-     Set the environment variable ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH to the location of
-     these binary plugs.
-     
-  3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
-       gnumake sanity
-     See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
-  
-  4. Do a complete build of the jdk:
-       gnumake all
-     The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
