# java-scratchspace

combined effort to get a better java environment for CRUX

## History

This repository preserves efforts to achieve a clear and clean openjdk toolchain.
Most work has been done by [John Vogel](https://crux.nu/Main/RetiredMembers) (to my knowledge) outside of this git tree, and when he left it was picked up by [Danny Rawlins](https://crux.nu/Profiles/DanielRawlins) and [myself](https://crux.nu/Profiles/TimBiermann).

## Goals

There is things this repository tried and still tries to achieve:

 - provide ports to bootstrap openjdk release builds
 - prepare new 
 - work on scripts to make dealing with java less painful

## Non-Goals

And there is things that this repository does not want to achieve:

 - provide everything java-related.

## State

**No support guaranteed**

There is no active development for openjdk right now.
Every once in a while this repository gets used to build a new boot jdk and prepare a new port (e.g. in case of a major release) for contrib.

There are a few more java related ports like `ant` and `kotlin` in here.
These are not guaranteed to work in any way.
However, tickets and pull requests are welcome.
