Is anyone able to build the JDK on Windows using VirtualBox to host Ubuntu?

[Anil]

I want to try out a small contribution to the JDK and want to build the JDK
first.
I have a Windows 11 laptop.

I am not comfortable with the Windows commands and someone mentioned in
this forum that most of the building is done on Linux.
So I installed VirtualBox 7.0.18 and Ubuntu 24.04. however I was getting
black screens and freezing. I downgraded the Ubuntu to 222.04 and still got
black screens. I don't know why this is happening.
Any advice appreciated.
