    <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>

    <para>The <application>JDK</application> comes in two flavors, a precompiled
    binary and a source package. 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://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jrl_5.0-license.txt">
    Java Research License</ulink>. In addition, the source code cannot be
    downloaded from some countries, so for users from those countries, the binary
    is the only option.</para>

    <para>If you plan on compiling the <application>JDK</application> source, you
    will still need to download the binary version to bootstrap the
    <application>JDK</application> build.  You will need to download a total of four
    files to complete the source build:
    <filename>jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.bin</filename>,
    <filename>jdk-1_5_0-src-jrl.zip</filename>,
    <filename>jdk-1_5_0-bin-jrl.zip</filename>,
    and <filename>jdk-1_5_0-mozilla_headers-unix.zip</filename>.</para>

export V=`echo ${VERSION} | sed -e "s/\./_/g"` &amp;&amp;

ln -v -sf /bin/true bin/more &amp;&amp;
yes | PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH ./jdk-${V}-linux-i?86.bin &amp;&amp;
cd jdk${VERSION}</userinput></screen>

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

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -d /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-${MV} &amp;&amp;
mv -v * /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-${MV}
chown -v -R root:root /opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-${MV}</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>

    to the path.</para>

<screen><userinput>export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/jdk-precompiled-${MV} &amp;&amp;

V=`echo $VERSION | sed -e "s/\./_/g"` &amp;&amp;

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

<screen><userinput>for PATCH in ../jdk-&jdk-src-version;*.patch

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.</para>
    </warning>

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

<screen><userinput>export HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=<replaceable>[3]</replaceable></userinput></screen>

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

<screen><userinput>cd control/make &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
cd ../build/linux-i?86</userinput></screen>

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

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

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

    <para><command>export ALT_MOZILLA_PATH=$PWD</command>: This tells the build
    where to find the base directory of the plugin path (which contains the
    <application>Mozilla</application> headers).</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="blfs-&blfs-version;"</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</command>: This clears the
    <envar>JAVA_HOME</envar> variable as recommended by the build
    instructions.</para>

    <para><command>unset CLASSPATH</command>: This clears the
    <envar>CLASSPATH</envar> variable as per the recommendations in the build
    instructions.</para>

    <para><command>unset CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS...</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>

    <para><command>export ALT_CACERTS_FILE...</command>: Specifies the
    certificate file to use (from the installed binary
    <application>JDK</application>).</para>
