Goals
- Pass all appropriate certification tests for Java SE 7
- Include a complete, native Cocoa-based UI Toolkit
- Provide excellent performance
Prerequisites
- Hardware: Any 64-bit capable Intel Mac
- RAM: 4GB, 2GB min
- OS: Mac OS X 10.6, run Software Update to get to at least 10.6.5
- Xcode: 3.2.5 or later from http://developer.apple.com (Mac Dev Center section)
- Java: "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 Developer Package" or later from http://connect.apple.com (Java section)
- Mercurial: http://mercurial.berkwood.com/
- Jtreg: http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/

Build
CC=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 CXX=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-g++-4.2 ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true SA_APPLE_BOOT_JAVA=true ALWAYS_PASS_TEST_GAMMA=true ALT_BOOTDIR=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6` make
Install
A "1.7.0.jdk" bundle will be created in build/macosx-universal/j2sdk-bundle/ and can be copied or symlinked to ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines or /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.
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/.
cd $SRC/jdk/ (path to jtreg)/linux/bin/jtreg .
Caveats
If your version of Xcode is older than 3.2.5, the 32-bit build won't run, but the 64-bit build will.
