I think the Developer's Guide should be focused on process. It is a guide to enable people to make contributions. It cannot be a technical development guide for all different areas of the JDK - that would be completely impractical and would lead to factoring out the real "getting started" process oriented guide.

There is a place for a Hotspot Developer's Guide to replace the wiki materials, but that should be a completely separate document IMO.
