Whats the holdup on delivering tools and processes for the OpenJDK community? What can they be made available now?
Most of the tools and processes we use are Sun-specific. We’re going to change that, but it will take some time. We’re making good progress we migrated millions of lines of code from our old proprietary source code management tool to Mercurial this year, for example. Our processes also need to be documented in a manner that can be understood by people who don’t work at Sun. The OpenJDK Developers Guide is an important document that describes many of the processes used to create the JDK and should be reviewed by anyone interested in participating in active OpenJDK development with Sun.
