Hi Folks, The build system for OpenJDK6 for Windows uses Visual Studio 2003. This is a problem for those who do not have a license as you may not purchase this software anymore. The proposal is to modify the build systems and somewhat sources to accommodate usage of Visual Studio 2010 If that is something openjdk6 community is interested in I could contribute a patch.
I am also unfamiliar with the logistics here: seems that not all changes in OpenJdk6 have corresponding bug entries in OpenJDK bug database. Should RFR be simply sent to this list? Thanks, Ivan
