    <title>Introduction to JDK</title>

    <para>The <application>JDK</application> package contains
    Sun's <application>Java</application> development environment. This is
    useful for developing <application>Java</application> programs and provides
    the runtime environment necessary to run <application>Java</application>
    programs.  It also includes a plug-in for browsers so that they can be
    <application>Java</application> aware.</para>

    <!-- Previously, the plugin included
    in the <application>JDK</application> binary package was unusable on LFS
    owing to incompatibilities with <application>GCC</application>-3 compiled
    browsers.  This is not the case anymore.</para>

    <para>In order to use the source code and patches, you must read and agree
    to the Sun <ulink url="http://www.java.net/jrl.csp"> Java Research
    License</ulink> or optionally, the Sun <ulink
    url="http://java.net/jiul.csp">Java Internal Use License</ulink>.  In
    addition, the source code is not allowed to be downloaded to some
    countries, so for users in those countries, the binary is the only
    option.</para> -->

    <para>The <application>JDK</application> comes in two flavors, a
    precompiled binary and a source package. You will first need to download
    and install the binary version of the <application>JDK</application>
    (you'll need to click and agree to the <quote>Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    Binary Code License Agreement</quote>). To build from the source, you will
    also need to download the additional files and patches to complete the
    source build as detailed below. Note that in some countries you cannot
    download the source code.</para>

    <title>Installation of JDK</title>

    <para>The instructions below install both the binary and source versions.
    You may stop after installing the binary version or continue on installing
    the source version. You can choose to keep either or both.</para>

    <tip>
      <para>The <command>./jdk-mod.bin</command>
      command below unpacks the distribution into a
      <filename class='directory'>jdk&jdk-bin-version;</filename> directory.
      You will be required to view, and then accept (by entering a
      <keycap>y</keycap> keypress), a license agreement before any files are
      unpacked. If you are scripting (automating) the build, you'll need to
      account for this. There is information about automating build commands
      in the <xref linkend="automating-builds"/> section of Chapter 2. Towards
      the end of this section, specific information for automating this type of
      installation is discussed.</para>
    </tip>

    <para>Normally in BLFS, the files are unpacked into a subdirectory
    and the starting point for the installation procedures is that
    location.  For this application only, start in the directory where all
    the downloaded files are located.</para>

    <para>Install the precompiled <application>JDK</application> with the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>install -m755 jdk-&jdk-bin-string;-linux-i?86.bin jdk-mod.bin &amp;&amp;
sed -i "s:^PATH=.*::" jdk-mod.bin &amp;&amp;
./jdk-mod.bin &amp;&amp;
rm jdk-mod.bin</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>cd jdk&jdk-bin-version; &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-&jdk-bin-version; &amp;&amp;
mv -v * /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-&jdk-bin-version; &amp;&amp;
chown -v -R root:root /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-&jdk-bin-version; &amp;&amp;
ln -v -sf motif21/libmawt.so \
    /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-&jdk-bin-version;/jre/lib/i386/ &amp;&amp;
cd ..</userinput></screen>

    <para>The binary version is now installed.</para>

    <para>If you don't want to compile the source or are not in a position to
    download the source owing to license restrictions, skip ahead to the
    configuration section.</para>

    <para>Save the existing path, and append the recently installed
    <application>JDK</application>.</para>

<screen><userinput>export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-&jdk-bin-version; &amp;&amp;
export PATH_HOLD=${PATH} &amp;&amp;
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin</userinput></screen>

    <para>The source code is contained in self-extracting
    <filename class='extension'>jar</filename> files.  You
    will need to be in a windowed environment to extract the sources.
    Create a directory to store the extracted sources.  Choose the newly
    created <filename class="directory">jdk-build</filename> directory
    when prompted for the target directory.</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir jdk-build &amp;&amp;
cd jdk-build &amp;&amp;
for JAR in ../jdk-&jdk-src-string;*.jar
    do java -jar ${JAR}
done</userinput></screen>

    <para>Apply all the patches downloaded above:</para>

<screen><userinput>for PATCH in ../jdk-&jdk-src-version;*.patch
    do patch -Np1 -i ${PATCH}
done</userinput></screen>

    <para>If your <application>X Window System</application> is installed into
    any prefix other than <filename class="directory">/usr/X11R6</filename>,
    execute the following command, replacing
    <replaceable>&lt;PREFIX&gt;</replaceable> with the installation prefix of
    the <application>X Window System</application>:</para>

<screen><userinput>find . -type f -exec sed -i 's@/usr/X11R6@<replaceable>&lt;PREFIX&gt;</replaceable>@g' {} \;</userinput></screen>

    <para>Set/unset some variables which affect the build:</para>

export CLASSPATH_HOLD=${CLASSPATH} &amp;&amp;
unset JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS &amp;&amp;

export INSANE=true &amp;&amp;
export MAKE_VERBOSE=true &amp;&amp;
export ALT_CACERTS_FILE=${ALT_BOOTDIR}/jre/lib/security/cacerts</userinput></screen>

    <warning>
      <para>Setting CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS is guaranteed to make the build
      fail. If you are interested in optimizing the build, set
      OTHER_CFLAGS/OTHER_CXXFLAGS/OTHER_LDFLAGS instead.  -O3, even in
      OTHER_C{,XX}FLAGS, is known to cause a build failure.</para>
    </warning>

    <para>Additionally, if you would like to <command>make</command> in
    parallel, add the following:</para>

<screen><userinput>export HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=<replaceable>&lt;3&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>

    <para>Build the <application>JDK</application> with the following
    commands. There will be a few messages about missing files that look like
    errors. These are caused by not meeting the expected build environment
    (Red Hat).  As long as the build doesn't stop, the messages
    are harmless.</para>

<screen><userinput>pushd control/make &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
popd</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, you can run one of the provided demo programs
    using the newly created <command>java</command> binary. Issue the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>pushd control/build/linux-i?86/j2sdk-image/demo/jfc/Java2D &amp;&amp;
../../../bin/java -jar Java2Demo.jar &amp;&amp;
popd</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user,
    install the <application>JDK</application>:</para>

    <para><command>export ALT_BOOTDIR=${JAVA_HOME}</command>: This variable sets
    the location of the bootstrap <application>JDK</application>.</para>

    <para><command>export ALT_MOZILLA_HEADERS_PATH=${PWD}/share/plugin/</command>:
    This tells the build exactly where to find the
    <application>Mozilla</application> headers.  This has changed since the
    previous version and is not mentioned in the installation documentation
    included with the package source.</para>

    <para><command>export ALT_DEVTOOLS_PATH="/usr/bin"</command>: This
    changes the location where the build finds the needed executables.</para>

    <para><command>export BUILD_NUMBER="update-10"</command>:
    This will help you identify the compiled version of the runtime environment
    and virtual machine by appending this information to the version
    string.</para>

    <para><command>export DEV_ONLY=true</command>: This command
    skips compiling the documentation and eliminates a dependency on
    <application>rpm</application>.</para>

    <para><command>unset JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS</command>:
    These variables cause miscompilation of the build. Never set them.</para>

    <para><command>export INSANE=true</command>: The certified platform for the
    build is Redhat Enterprise Advanced Server 2.1. This variable ensures that
    all the errors related to compiling on a non-certified platform will be
    displayed as warnings instead of errors.</para>

    <para><command>export MAKE_VERBOSE=true</command>: Allows the compiler
    commands to be displayed on the console.</para>
