not sure if this is the right forum for this, but i recently checked
out the code base and following the suggestions for 64-bit Ubuntu
here:

http://source.android.com/source/download.html

did a bit of tweaking and got the entire checkout to build on 64-bit
Ubuntu 10.04, which i documented here:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Android_on_Ubuntu_10.04#Building_Android_in_its_entirety

  to be frank, i was flying blind and simply ignored the original
documentation and stuck with ubuntu's stock java 6 and, with the
slight tweaks i documented, the build completed.  so does that mean
that, at least in this specific case, java 6 is feasible?  and for
anyone who wants to check my work, did i do anything egregiously
wrong?

rday

p.s.  if i wanted to submit patches for the code base, where would i
do that?  i was thinking that if java 6 actually works in this case,
it might be worth adding extra logic in the build makefile
(build/core/main.mk) to recognize this special exception.
