Introduction
This README file contains build instructions for the JavaTM 2 Platform Standard Edition,

v5.0 (JDK 5.0) Community Source Release. Building the source code for the JDK requires a high level of technical expertise.
 Sun provides the source code primarily for technical experts who want to conduct research, port the platform to new operating systems and hardware, or add enhancements that require access to platform internals. If you are not a technical professional in one of these categories, this release is probably not for you.
Overview
This community source release contains all the source code and makefiles required for building JDK 5.0 for the SolarisTM Operating Environment (hereafter "Solaris"), Microsoft Windows platforms, and Linux. To get the complete community source, you need to download/unzip both SCSL source and binary bundles.
The source release has the following top-level directories.

control
The control directory contains the makefiles necessary for building the entire J2SE release,
including the Java HotSpot VMs and the runtime libraries, tools and utilities.

hotspot
The hotspot directory contains the source code and makefiles necessary for building the Java HotSpot Client VM and the Java HotSpot Server VM.
motif
The motif directory contains the source code and makefiles necessary for building a 32-bit or 64-bit motif library needed by the Linux JDK.
j2se
The j2se directory contains the source code and makefiles necessary for building everything in the JDK 5.0 except the VMs, including runtime libraries, tools and utilities.
deploy
The deploy directory contains the source code and makefiles necessary for building the Java TM plugin and Java TM Web Start.
The JavaTM Web Start product ships with the JDK 5.0 binary release. The source code for the Java Web Start product is available in a separate Sun Community Source release.

install
The install directory contains the source code and makefiles necessary for building the installers and update technologies for the entire j2se. Building installer workspace is not supported as part of this community source release, so the binary images can only be built instead of the bundles.
