+ The OpenJDK sources are maintained with the revision control system

+ If you are new to Mercurial, please see the
+ <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BeginnersGuides">Beginner Guides</a>
+ or refer to the <a href=""http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial Book</a>.
+ The first few chapters of the book provide an excellent overview of
+ Mercurial, what it is and how it works.
+ <br>
+ For using Mercurial with the OpenJDK refer to the
+ <a href=""http://openjdk.java.net/guide/repositories.html#installConfig">
+ Developer Guide: Installing and Configuring Mercurial</a>
+ section for more information.
+ The Forest Extension is not part of the Mercurial install,
+ and is optional,
+ but can be obtained with the following commands:
+ <blockquote>
+ <tt>
+ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgforest-crew/overview/ <i>YourHgForest</i>
+ </tt>
+ </blockquote>
+ Once you have the file <tt>forest.py</tt>, you need to add these
+ lines to your <tt>${HOME}/.hgrc</tt> file:
+ <blockquote>
+ <tt>
+ [extensions]
+ <br>forest = <i>YourHgForest</i>/forest.py
+ </tt>
+ </blockquote>
+

+ using the Forest Extension:
+ <blockquote>
+ <tt>

+ To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories

+ <br>sh ./get_source.sh
+ </tt>
+ </blockquote>
+ Once you have all the repositories, the
+ script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt>
+ can be used to repeat the same <tt>hg</tt>
+ command on every repository in the forest, e.g.
+ <blockquote>
+ <tt>
+ cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
+ <br>sh ./make/scripts/hgforest.sh pull -u
