Hi,
I'm not sure which one I should download on
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
JDK 6 Update 16 is what you want.
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) Bundles
or
Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
What are Java EE, JavaFX SDK and NetBeans 6.7.1?
Larger bundles where they included Java EE, or JavaFX, or
NetBeans with the JDK.

You need a JDK to build the JDK.
If you have a JDK (jdk6 vintage) on your system already, yes
you can use that, just point ALT_BOOTDIR at it and skip step 1.

Hi,
README of openjdk-7-ea-src-b71-03_sep_2009 says the following. I am
wondering why I need step 1. Can I start with step 2 directly?
Simple Build Instructions:
1. Download and install a JDK 6 from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK
6.
2. Download and install the Binary Plugs for the most recent JDK7 from
http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/
Set the environment variable ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH to the location of
these binary plugs.
3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
gnumake sanity
See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
4. Do a complete build of the jdk:
gnumake all
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image

Peng
