- Not all of the source code that makes up the JDK is available
- under an open-source license.
- This is a temporary situation and these binary plugs will be
- replaced with fully open source replacements as soon as possible.
- So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,
- you must first download and install the appropriate
- binary plug bundles for the OpenJDK, go to the
- <a href="http://openjdk.java.net" target="_blank">OpenJDK</a> site and select
- the
- "<b>Bundles(7)</b>"
- link and download the binaryplugs for
- your particular platform.
- The file downloaded is a jar file that must be extracted by running
- the jar file with:
- <blockquote>
- <pre>
- <tt><b>java -jar jdk-7-ea-plug-b<i>nn</i>-<i>os</i>-<i>arch</i>-<i>dd</i>_<i>month</i>_<i>year</i>.jar</b></tt>
- </pre>
- </blockquote>
- A prompt will be issued for acceptance of these binary plug files.
- During the OpenJDK build process these "binary plugs"
- for the encumbered components will be copied into your
- resulting OpenJDK binary build image.
- These binary plug files are only for the purpose of
- building an OpenJDK binary.
- Make sure you set
- <tt><a href="#ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH">ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH</a></tt>
- to the root of this installation.
