Hey Stephen - we've had quite a few people have issues with this.  There
are adopt-openjdk instructions [0], which are more detailed than the
official ones, and I've heard they work well if you're using Windows 7.
There's certainly help available at
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/adopt-openjdk for people
building openjdk, which is a lot friendlier/help oriented than on the
official mailing lists.

I did a build on my laptop last night and I've found build-infra to work
very effectively if you're using the latest ubuntu, so it might be worth
just trying to use that in a virtual machine.  When running openjdk
hackdays we usually build ubuntu VMs because it results in /far/ less
issues than people trying to use OS X or Windows.

regards,
