+Building the entire Open JDK source code
+
+This project exists solely for building the entire Open JDK source code,
+i.e. both the Hotspot VM and the JDK.
+
+Building this project takes considerable time and disk space.  Expect several
+hours and over 3GB.  Given that it takes a long time to build all of this
+project code, you might prefer to build it from the command line using ant.
+
+Please note: the results of building this project are *not* put in the place
+used by other projects.  In this case, the results are place in
+
+    <install-dir>/build/<platform>-<arch>
+and
+    <install-dir>/build/<platform>-<arch>-fastdebug
