Hi Florian,

I started to fix the readme and at the time of writing the information was up to date although we discussed about the jdk6 requirement to be obsolete soon.

I'll prepare a patch in the next days with the new info, unless somebody else (perhaps you?) want to contribute this fix before.

Mario

README-builds.html is out of data (in jdk8/tl).  It still refers to JDK
6u18 as the bootstrap JDK.  Furthermore, bootstrapping with the
jdk7u/jd7u tip does not work due to the following
warning-treated-as-error:

| ##### Entering langtools for target(s) all                         #####
| [...]
| -def-pcompile:
|     [javac] Compiling 2 source files to [...]/build/linux-amd64/langtools/build/toolclasses
|     [javac] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.6
|     [javac] error: warnings found and -Werror specified
|     [javac] 1 error
|     [javac] 1 warning

So it seems that the required bootstrap JDK is a JDK 7 version which is
about a year old (which did not include the warning; I haven't tried
building).  Is this intentional?  If not, what's going on here?
