;;; Java bootstrap toolchain.
;;;
;; The Java bootstrap begins with Jikes, a Java compiler written in C++. We
;; use it to build the SableVM standard library and virtual machine, which are
;; written in a simpler dialect of Java and C, respectively. This is
;; sufficient to build an older version of Ant, which is needed to build an
;; older version of ECJ, an incremental Java compiler, both of which are
;; written in Java.
;;
;; ECJ is needed to build the latest release of GNU Classpath (0.99).
;; Classpath (> 0.98) is a requirement for JamVM, a more modern implementation
;; of the Java virtual machine.
;;
;; With JamVM we can build the latest development version of GNU Classpath,
;; which has much more support for Java 1.6 than the latest release. Since
;; the previous build of JamVM is limited by the use of GNU Classpath 0.99 we
;; rebuild it with the latest development version of GNU Classpath.
;;
;; Finally, we use the bootstrap toolchain to build the OpenJDK with the
;; Icedtea 1.x build framework. We then build the more recent JDKs Icedtea
;; 2.x and Icedtea 3.x.
