I was planning to do that, but I won't be able to write something more detailed before the end of the week: a paper deadline is looming. Here's a very short summary: Start with the instructions for building JDK7 found here http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simonis/archive/2008/01/hotspot_develop.html (this takes care of most dependencies). However, checkout jdk7 files in a directory called 'sources', as this will make applying patches easier. Follow the instructions found in the patches/README.txt file to get an idea about what's to be done (forget the wiki, it is incomplete and outdated). Most probably they will fail at the end because of conflicts. Here's what I did: - go to sources/hotspot - type 'hg qpop -a' (to make sure all patches have been unapplied). You can check that by typing 'hg qapplied', there should be none. - type 'hg qselect $guards' to select the 'guards' that enable/disable active patches. You should have a guards variable defined from following README.txt. It makes sense to add jdk7-b38 and jdk7-b34 to it. To see what guards are needed to activate each patch, have a look at .hg/patches/series - revert to an earlier version of the repository 'hg update jdk7-b38' If you had conflicts in other repositories (jdk or langtools), to the same there. I completely skipped the patches for langtools, as I could not find a revision that accepts all patches, and I was more interested in the jvm itself. What I wrote here is probably not enough, and I recommend reading a few chapters of the Mercurial book if you are not familiar with this system. I wasn't, and things became a clearer afterwards :) Feel free to email me if you need more information. I'll try to write something up by the end of the week, and publish the link here.
