Hi Denis,

That's awesome, is the VM open to all, if show where can I download it 
from ? If that's not workable can you please let me know typically some 
steps kind of guide on what softwares are required and the download URL 
for the same so that I can set-up my build-env to build openjdk6 on 
Windows 7 (64-bit) using VS2010
