OpenJDK 6 Build 17

[Ray Kiddy]

Is there a canonical place for documentation of the build process for  
jdk7 on Mac OS X?

I have found http://confluence.concord.org/display/CCTR/Build+OpenJDK+Java+1.7.0+on+Mac+OS+X+10.5 
  and the various pages pointed to by http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/java 
  and am noting down what has worked and what has not worked so far.

So far, I still have not been able to get a full build. But when I do,  
where can this be documented?

The page at http://openjdk.java.net/projects/bsd-port/ points to  
nothing else. Is there some place that people are putting doc specific  
to the bsd-port that I have not found yet?

It is a shame that build info for the ports cannot go here: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html

thanx - ray
