-    <p>
-    This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
-    "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK.
-    Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
-    bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
-    of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
-    These usually represent what is often called the
-    least common denominator platforms.
-    It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these 
-    specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
-    may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.
-    <p>
-    
-    <p>
-    The minimum OS and C/C++ compiler versions needed for building the
-    OpenJDK:

+            This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
+            "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK.
+            Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
+            bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
+            of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
+            These usually represent what is often called the
+            least common denominator platforms.
+            It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these 
+            specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
+            may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.

-    Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
-    there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that

-    Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the

-    You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces

-        The JDK 6 binaries can be downloaded from Sun's 
-        <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/1.6.0/download.html">JDK 6 download site</a>.
-        For build performance reasons
-        is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available on the
-        local disk of the machine doing the build.
-        You should always set 
-        <tt><a href="#ALT_BOOTDIR">ALT_BOOTDIR</a></tt>
-        to point to the location of
-        the bootstrap JDK installation, this is the directory pathname

-        It's also a good idea to also place its <tt>bin</tt> directory
-        in the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable, although it's

-        The source contain a cacerts file

-        Failure to provide a populated cacerts file

+            Depending on the platform, the OpenJDK build process has some basic

+            Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
+            an architecture.
+            Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set

+            In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
+            and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard

+                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

+                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>

+                </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.

-    <strong>Solaris:</strong>
-    Note that ARCH_DATA_MODEL is really only needed on Solaris to
-    indicate you want to built the 64-bit version.
-    And before the Solaris 64-bit binaries can be used, they
-    must be merged with the binaries from a separate 32-bit build. 
-    The merged binaries may then be used in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with
-    the selection occurring at runtime 
-    with the <tt>-d32</tt> or <tt>-d64</tt> options.

-    <p>
-    When the build is completed, you should see the generated
-    binaries and associated files in the <tt>j2sdk-image</tt> 
-    directory in the output directory. 
-    The default output directory is
-    <tt>build/<i>platform</i></tt>,

-    In particular, the

-    tools and utilities.
-    <p>
-    You can test that the build completed properly by using the build
-    to run the various demos that you will find in the 
-    <tt>build/<i>platform</i>/j2sdk-image/demo</tt>
-    directory.
-    <p>

-    A build can fail for any number of reasons. 
-    Most failures
-    are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
-    pre-build requirements have not been met. 
-    The first step in
-    troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
-    all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
-    Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
-    <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
-    
-    <p>
-    You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
-    target.
-    Any errors listed
-    will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
-    a flawed product build.
-    We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
-    sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
-    further with your build.

-    <p>
-    Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described

-                variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
-                machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably

-                <p>
-                Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running

-                The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),

-                <p>
-                If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.

-                <p>
-                These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
-                sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
-                unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
-                the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
-                fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
-                For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
-                version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
-                when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
-                in the 1.4 source code.
-                <p>
-                If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
-                machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
-                containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

-                Various parts of the JDK build require a static

+                        This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
+                        This is installed as part of a specific package
+                        (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
+                        By default some 64bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
+                        only install the 64bit version of the libstdc++ package.
+                        Various parts of the JDK build require a static
+                        link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
+                        portability of the built images.
