Build openjdk?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I don't have root permission on my machine.

In this case, shall I use the source?

http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u18/promoted/b02/jdk-6u18-ea-src-b02-jrl-09_sep_2009.jar

How to install it? I got the following error.

$ java jdk-6u18-ea-src-b02-jrl-09_sep_2009.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(MainThread.java:102)
