Hi Mauro,

The most up to date instructions you'll find for building the OpenJDK
port are those in the haikuporter recipe:

https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuports/src/f38c89a88892a29efe78fdbe8696ca652dddac5b/dev-lang/openjdk/openjdk-1.7_u80_b00.recipe?at=master

You need an existing image to build it, which you can find here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61946213/openjdk_x86-1.7_2013_11_08-2-x86_gcc2.hpkg

Then you need to download ant binaries, install the development packages
for freetype, iconv and zlib, set the right variables, and run make.

The most up to date code is on my bitbucket (see haikuporter recipe for
URLs), where I've merged in jdk7u updates and fixed a few bugs. That's
pretty stable now, so I'll be pushing it to the Haiku repositories here
soon.

Cheers,
Hamish
