OpenJDK Binary

Sat Feb 11 01:36:04 UTC 2012

Hello Frans, Martijn, Friends, Colleagues, and OpenJDK developers.

I think that one of the real interesting and positive points is that Denis
and Henri have been producing good binaries and distributing them. I have a
build for OpenJDK on Apple G5 PPC. I was going to publish this as well.

There is a lot of work being done at Java.net to add a CI system to all
projects. When this becomes a reality, I have an expectation that all of
the builds for each platform should be built every on a schedule. I don't
have a timeframe for when this will be put into place, but it is on the
Java.net roadmap. There are a couple of other higher priority items that
need to be completed like SYMPA replacement.

This is only my expectation.

A lot of the things are very fluid right now, and I would like to strike
while the iron is hot.

Ultimately, I would like to make it build on all supported platforms with
the same ease as you can do with Mac OSX port... and simpler. I should just
type build and have it do all of the work required. That should be the
"golden" standard that the project should strive to meet.

I will have some changes to add to the build README based on my JUG meeting
last night and demos.

John
