OpenJDK on Solaris Dev Express 1/2008?

[Kelly O'Hair]

If SXDE contains Sun Studio 12 (SS12), you may have some problems with compiling
hotspot. I've integrated some hotspot changes to deal with SS12 issues
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot/hotspot/rev/a49545cab84a
(hasn't been integrated into the master jdk7/jdk7 repositories yet).

The rest of the jdk may compile file with SS12, but lots of warnings about
the use of -xarch options, harmless but annoying. I'm working on the rest
of the SS12 Makefile changes for the jdk, to get rid of these warnings etc.

If you can get a Sun Studio 11 installed, would be better right now.

I used a previous version of SXDE to build OpenJDK a while back, but it
had SS11 in it at that time, so it was a while ago.
Looks like the latest SXDE includes Sun Studio Express compilers, which
are effectively SS12+ I assume.
