But note that this will not work with older Mercurials versions, not exactly sure what
versions of Mercurial work with what versions of the Forest Extension.

See  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#hg

The Forest Extension has been problematic and we are moving away from it.

You can completely avoid the Forest Extension by doing:

hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 YourOpenJDK 
cd YourOpenJDK 
sh ./get_source.sh
