Latest instructions on getting and patching

[scheme mlvm]

My experiences with building mlvm based on bsd-port:

On missing machine/endian.h if build on linux (FC10 in my case):
In jdk: replace with #include <endian.h>

On error: class file for com.sun.jmx.snmp.Timestamp not found:
Build does not extract a few binary plug classes, fix jdk:
make/common/internal/BinaryPlugs.gmk

To-be-encountered :): on NullPointerException for jar tool
with at listOfFilesparam:
In jdk, src/share/classes/sun/tools/jar/Main.java: set new cwd property
before any of the extract() method is called (not only in one extract()
method)

If using newly build openjdk-1.7.0 as ALT_BOOTDIR, javadoc vm crashes when
building certain docs. seemed to happen randomly, no fix, just workaround:
In jdk, make/common/shared/Defs-java.gmk: introduced new ALT_JAVADOC to use
jdk 6 javadoc

Patch files attached

fyi, Jürgen
