Just o inform you before I give up.
At the README of jdk7 or jdk8 one can read
---------------
This one root repository can be obtained with something like:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8
To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run the
get_source.sh script located in the same respository as this file:
cd openjdk8 && sh ./get_source.sh
---------------
Since weeks, running the get_source.sh, download takes place for all
sub-repositories except and always fails for the jdk*/jdk repository.
"hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/ C:/OpenJDK/jdk7/jdk"
Watching the network, there is an immediate transfer of the .hg
subdirectory
but then after about 20 minutes I get an abort error
C770817@C036357 /cygdrive/e/OpenJDK/jdk8
$ hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk jdk
requesting all changes
abort: error:
WHY?
Once in the past 4 weeks, I was able to download it on a Saturday at
home.
