OpenJDK 6 build 14 source posted

[Kelly O'Hair]

This should be resolved after the Mercurial transition since the
bundling logic has to change, it actually becomes much simplier.

I assume a zip bundle like what has been done for openjdk7 is ok?
e.g.
http://www.java.net/download/openjdk/jdk7/promoted/b40/openjdk-7-ea-src-b40-20_nov_2008.zip

Humm... zip was 83.6 MB, tar.gz of openjdk6 is 46 MB??? Maybe we should use tar.gz for both? :^(

And I suppose the openjdk7 bundle should explode into a openjdk7 directory
and the openjdk6 bundle into an openjdk6 directory?
