Hi Neale:
I’m trying to build the JDK for the first time. I grabbed the sources
from the mercurial repository and followed the FAQ to perform the build.
It builds a heap of stuff before it dies with the following:
error: com.sun.jmx.snmp.SnmpValue: class file for
com.sun.jmx.snmp.SnmpValue not found
error: class file for com.sun.jmx.snmp.SnmpValue not found
The source code for the above class is there but it doesn’t appear to be
being compiled. Is this a known problem or a newbie mistake easily fixed?
This is bug-id 6819847 "build is broken for OpenJDK with plugs"
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6819847
the work around is to define
IMPORT_BINARY_PLUGS=true
This was an unintended consequence of the fix for
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6661448
Hope this helps-
Tim Bell
