I have searched on Internet about OpenJDK on ARM but I found a lot of different things...

First, my goal is to have only the library of OpenJDK compiled for ARM, not Hotspot or anything else. I work for an embedded system based on ARM, and I want to use the JVM JamVM + OpenJDK on my board. JamVM support OpenJDK and can be easily cross-compiled for ARM. So my question is: How to cross-compile OpenJDK for ARM? I don't understand where's the problem, many website speak about ASM code in the OpenJDK. But the name OpenJDK contains a lot of thing (library, jvm, compiler) but I don't want the OpenJDK JVM cross-compiled for ARM, I only need the library for JamVM. Isn't it the same way to compile GNU Classpath and OpenJDK libraries? Also, I don't want an ARM based OpenJDK development environment because I have it on my laptop, I only need an "executable" environment on ARM (JVM+Library). I'm sorry for my bad english, but I'm french. I have posted similar question on french forum, but nobody knows. I hope you will understand my question and take the time to explain to me because I don't know where I can find the informations :-)

You're looking in the wrong place. If you want to build OpenJDK over JamVM, go to http://icedtea.classpath.org.

To build IcedTea with JamVM:

hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6 ./autogen.sh ./configure --disable-bootstrap --enable-jamvm make

Come over to IRC channel #openjdk on irc.oftc.net for help.
