Note that only Mac OS X 10.7.3 and higher will be an Oracle-supported platform. It should continue to run on 10.6.8+ but that is not guaranteed. As of 1-Jan-2012 there are no plans to introduce 10.7-only APIs into the codebase.
JTReg is not required to build but useful for running regression tests

build/macosx-universal/j2sdk-image/bin/java -version
mkdir -p ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines cp -R build/macosx-universal/j2sdk-bundle/jdk1.8.0.jdk ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home --version 1.7+` $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version
If you have the Java Developer Package installed:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar /Library/Java/Demos/JFC/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar
Download jtreg to run the tests in the /jdk/test directory.

The "Get the Code" sections lists the commands for fetching the source. I can build when I use this command. But when I try to update the source, by doing a pull instead of a clone, the resulting source will not build. Can someone add the correct commands for updating the source? Fetching and building the entire corpus every time seems unnecessary.

It turns out that the answer is too simple to have been documented. Just execute the get_source.sh script again. There is no step 3, or even a step 2...
