Hi David,
According to the SCCS history, the ALT_OPENWIN_HOME has been introduced
with CR 2154143 (which is a 6u10 SubCR of 6613871). The CR is marked as
delivered to 7b65 as well, however the ALT_OPENWIN_HOME changes in
make/common/shared/Defs-linux.gmk have been lost for some reason.
I think we should ask Andy (CC'ed) because he's the RE for that fix in 7.

It used to be in JDK6 that you could use ALT_OPENWIN_HOME to override
the default OPENWIN_HOME settings in the makefiles for the j2se
workspace. But now in JDK7 this has gone and the value is hardwired in
Defs-linux.gmk:
override OPENWIN_HOME =/usr/X11R6/
Can someone tell me why this change was made? It seems to go against the
normal policy of using the ALT_* variables to customize settings.
This value needs to be overridden externally when doing cross-compilation.
Thanks,
David
