Hi Ted,

The naming scheme of source & binary bundles on
http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/ should hopefully make it easy enough to 
write a script that fetches the appropriate bits, given a build number and its
date, if all you want to do is to build the current openjdk for your platform,
and test it.

cheers,
