IcedTea Wiki

[Camel Aissani]

Hi,

I would like to contribute to the openjdk, but I wasn't able to find a
document that explains how to make my first hack :(
At this time, I have a fedora 8 distribution and I had compile the entire
icedtea project.
Many thanks to Sylvain for your french wiki it was very useful ;-)

Now I don't know if I can use an IDE to hack (Netbeans, eclipse...). Sorry
for the purist...I am a javaboy and I like my IDE.
In many emails about icedtea, I read a lot of stuff arround Visual
Studio...I hope that I will be able to hack without windows.

Two days ago, I tried to compile the openjdk in debug mode. I failed...
I read this article
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/11/29/building-the-jdk.html where
there is a lot information.
Could you give me other links where I can find a simpliest way to compile
the jdk on fedora?

Cheers
Camel
