Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8250216
The README at the root of the source tree says, “For information about
building the JDK, including how to retrieve all of the source code,
please see ...” yet we haven’t needed instructions on how to retrieve
the rest of the source code since JDK 10, when we consolidated
everything into a single repository.
(Also, the http://openjdk.java.net/ URL should be https://...)
Patch below.
Thanks,
- Mark
