javac CRASH

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Rémi , Ulf,

If you're driving Ant directly, you want to set the Ant property 
boot.java.home,
not the Makefile variable ALT_BOOTDIR.
    ant -Dboot.java.home=path-to-jdk6or7 more-args....

The path should be to the root of the installed JDK, not any of its 
subdirectories.
For example, if you've installed JDK 1.7 in C:\opt\jdk\1.7.0 then use
    ant -Dboot.java/home=C:/opt/jdk/1.7.0 more-args...
