The SE-Embedded product is a combination of open and closed sources. To
allow SE-Embedded to be built from standard OpenJDK sources we need to
apply a number of changes to the SE 7 build system:
- support for building the hotspot client compiler only (hotspot already
supports this, this is the JDK side of things)
- support for doing cross-compilation (Linux only)
- minimal support for ARM/PPC architectures in the open code that
currently only knows about x86 and sparc
- SE-Embedded specific build settings and targets (specifically the
headful and headless reduced JRE images)
---
These changes are obviously primarily for Oracle's benefit, but some
aspects may be use of externally as well. The hope is that these changes
won't have an adverse affect on any downstream OpenJDK builders, but
until I get feedback on that I won't know.
Thanks,
