OpenJDK Upstream Binaries (JDK 8u)

Not to be confused with the official AdoptOpenJDK binaries openjdk8-binaries

openjdk8-upstream-binaries are pure unaltered builds from the OpenJDK mercurial jdk8u code stream which have been built by Red Hat on behalf of the OpenJDK community jdk8u updates project.

Build Scripts

This repository also contains build scripts which were used to produce binaries released under this repository. See usage for more information.

Usage

On your newly commissioned RHEL 6 machine, you can run these steps to produce a build:

$ wget -O openjdk8-upstream-binaries-master.tar.gz "https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-upstream-binaries/archive/master.tar.gz"
$ tar -xf openjdk8-upstream-binaries-master.tar.gz
$ cd openjdk8-upstream-binaries-master
$ bash install-rhel6-deps-build-openjdk8.sh

This will produce a file in /home/openjdk called openjdk-*-all-artefacts.tar.gz, which is about 441 MB in size, containing:

• The JDK 8 build log
• The JDK 8 image (including src.zip), without debuginfo
• The JKD 8 debuginfo files for the JDK 8 image (overlay)
• The JDK 8 image in slowdebug version
• The JDK 8 debuginfo files for the slowdebug version
• The JDK 8 source tarball

Example:

jdk8u/
jdk8u/overall-build.log
jdk8u/build/release/images/OpenJDK8U-x64_linux_8u212b01_ea-debuginfo.tar.gz
jdk8u/build/release/images/OpenJDK8U-x64_linux_8u212b01_ea.tar.gz
jdk8u/build/OpenJDK8U-sources_8u212b01_ea.tar.gz
jdk8u/build/slowdebug/images/OpenJDK8U-x64_linux_8u212b01_ea-slowdebug.tar.gz
jdk8u/build/slowdebug/images/OpenJDK8U-x64_linux_8u212b01_ea-slowdebug-debuginfo.tar.gz

Only Build OpenJDK 8 (without Build Requirements)

If you already have the build requirements for building OpenJDK 8 installed, you can use a simpler build script to build OpenJDK 8:

$ wget -O openjdk8-upstream-binaries-master.tar.gz "https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-upstream-binaries/archive/master.tar.gz"
$ tar -xf openjdk8-upstream-binaries-master.tar.gz
$ cd openjdk8-upstream-binaries-master
$ bash build-openjdk8.sh
