Hi I have VS 2010 and need to build JDK6. Using my typical JDK7 set up

Do I need to install an older compiler (and if so where would I get it)?
JDK6 is built with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional for
32-bit Windows and Microsoft Platform SDK April 2005 for 64-bit Windows:

There were O/S requirements also: Windows 2000 SP2 for 32-bit and I
believe it was Windows 2003 for 64-bit.
Can you submit your builds to the sustaining JPRT queue? There are some
legacy Windows build systems available there that are still used to
build 6-update releases. You might be able to avoid the trouble of
setting up your own legacy system.
