Per-component repositories

The discussion about per-component repositories [1] doesn't seem to 
match reality.

If one wanted to check out just one component-area workspace it's not 
clear how to proceed from the guidebook description. 

It says the URL pattern is:  <release>/<project>{-gate}?/<component>

<release> obviously is 'jdk7' ... but then precisely what value is used 
for '<project>' and '<component>'

The page lists project names such as '2d' so perhaps one of these would work

    hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/2d
    hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/2d

But those result in a directory containing just the license & README & 
make files, and no source.

On the other hand this following results in just the CORBA repository 
being checked out

    hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/corba
