OpenJDK Build on Netbeans with Windows / Solaris - Part I

Friday Nov 30, 2007

Our team is ready with OpenJDK build for FOSS.IN, better to
say partially ready :). Me and Vikram is going to give the live demo about
building OpenJDK and how you can optimize the source code according to your own
need. For Example, if you don't like the default LookAndFeel of Java, change it according to
your like because now its your world, its your Java. Let me show you one simple
code change we have done with the gradient color. This
is the normal Ocean LookAndFeel of Java.

Before the code Change:

After the code change:

Though building OpenJDK is little cumbersome process but come on, its a one time process. Just make the build ready once and then screw it as you want both on the Java level and on native level . Even more process and standard documents will come as OpenJDK goes into its maturity stage. You will love to know that Netbeans 5.5+ is giving a high class support for making OpenJDK across all platforms.

So for the real die-hard of Java, I am going to write Part II, III, ... upto N(covering some technicalities of building process) till I am not able to make you happy. Thanks to Igor and Sandeep who have replied my all shots of stupid questions.
