Description

JDK instructions still mention that JRL source is not available. The source drops are back now so the note needs to be updated.

I cannot work on them any longer due to licensing restrictions with Sun regarding OpenJDK. It might be nice to transfer the old source build instructions to the wiki from an old revision and link there, noting that the patches might need a little massaging. Would be nicer to put the source build back into the book, but trust me, I do understand how much of a pain that is, and I simply cannot do it now, or it would have been done (or in queue).

Well, there's always IcedTea for your consumption:

icedtea.classpath.org

It replaces the binary plugs with free software versions of them.

Removed the note for now, but JDK is likely on the way out. Fixed in r9900.
