Next platform: anybody had any success building OpenJDK for the MacOS?

[Michael Collins]

I had tried a couple of months ago, following what I'd read on several blog
posts, but never did get the build to succeed, though I think I was close. I
would like to get it working, just haven't had the time. My Mac *used* to be
a great platform for Java development, but as I need to use some of the
version 6 features, I am stuck doing builds in Parallels+Linux.

It seems as if there are at least a few other people who would like to get
this working, would it be worth it to start a project to get Next/Darwin
build documentation? I think that much of the customizations Apple has done
are integrating with their Cocoa framework, I know I for one could live
without that.
