- Pass all appropriate certification tests for Java SE 7
- Include a complete, native Cocoa-based UI Toolkit
- Provide excellent performance
- Integrate into main-line OpenJDK 8
- DONE. OS X is now 'just another platform' in OpenJDK 8
Minimum requirements to run
- An Intel Mac
- RAM: 2GB
- Mac OS X 10.7.3
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.
- Hardware: Any 64-bit capable Intel Mac
- Minimum OS version: Mac OS X 10.6, run Software Update to get to at least 10.6.57.3 Lion
- Xcode Command Line Tools
- Mercurial: Xcode: 3.2.5 or later from http://developermercurial.appleberkwood.com (Mac Dev Center section)Java: "Java for Mac /
- X11
- On OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion: XQuartz
- On OS X 10.
6 Update 3 Developer Package" or later from http://connect.apple.com (Java section)- 7 Lion: Run /Applications/Utilities/X11.app to install as an additional download
JTReg is not required to build but useful for running regression tests

* Steps for incremental building
3. Smoke Test
| Code Block |
|---|
| Panel |
|---|
A "1.7.0.jdk" bundle will be created in build/macosx-universal/j2sdk- bundle/ and can be copied or symlinked to image/bin/java -version
|
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir -p ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines or
cp -R build/macosx-universal/j2sdk-bundle/jdk1.8.0.jdk ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
|
5. Run
| Code Block |
|---|
export JAVA_HOME=`/ Once installed, the build will be discovered by /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app, and found using the /usr/libexec/java_home tool, when passing it " --version 1.7 ".By dragging the 1.7.0 version to the top of the Java Preferences lists, it will become the default JVM for command line use (since CommandLine is currently the only capability it supports). |
Test
The linux jtreg is just a shell script that runs fine on Mac OS X. It will run all the tests under $SRC/jdk/.
| No Format |
|---|
cd $SRC/jdk/
(path to jtreg)/linux/bin/jtreg .

Caveats

If you have the Java Developer Package installed:
| Code Block |

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar /Library/Java/Demos/JFC/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar
|
Download jtreg to run the tests in the /jdk/test directory.
