where to find the source in openjdk
Question
Hi I installed openjdk1.6 in my machine using yum.
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
it is installed in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/
But I could not find the java source of the classes.
What I'm trying to do is just edit some original java code, recompile and play with it.
Thanks.
Solution
You need to manually download it using mercurial
, first of all get Mercurial Forest Extension
and then clone the whole tree
hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6
Building it is a bit tricky, here
is the build howto for JDK7, should be applicable for JDK6 too.
OTHER TIPS
When you install a package from yum, you're installing a binary. It doesn't necessarily download the source. You'll probably have to download the source from the website (or a repository) directly.
