I didn't say otherwise. But turns out Paul isn't talking about the OS X porting project forest anyway .. he's referring to the 7ux forest, and there it does not.

Phil,

Though, the X11 toolkit still builds and runs ok... - Michael. On 25/10/11 20:46, Phil Race wrote: Paul,

Just so you know, OpenJDK on OS X doesn't use X11. Earlier that's all there was but now that's obsolete and its based on Cocoa APIs. -phil. On 10/19/11 12:27 PM, Paul Hohensee wrote: On 10/17/11 4:20 PM, Henri Gomez wrote: What does it means for osx builder like me ?

This is what I expect, actual process may vary a bit. The forest is a development forest, so while you ought to be able to build it at any given time, it's not necessarily completely stable (i.e., may not pass the jcks at any given time). Until we get the infrastructure in place to build an X11-based bundle that runs on OS X, it won't be very useful. That'll be pretty much all makefile changes. Once we have that plus hotspot (which we already have in hsx/hotspot-rt), everyone except the client team (i.e., graphics team) will be able to build and test on OS X under X11.

When could we try to use it for OS/X builds ? When we get the infrastructure for building on OS X done, vis. above. Paul 2011/10/17 Paul Hohensee<paul.hohensee at oracle.com>: Thanks, Dalibor.

The forest is here http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-osx/ and the corresponding gates here http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-osx-gate/ The jdk7u-osx forest is a clone of jdk7u/jdk7u-dev and has the same jcheck constraints as jdk7u-dev (i.e., duplicate bugids are allowed). The push notification alias is macosx-port-dev at openjdk.java.net When component teams deem it advisable, they'll ask permission to push to jdk7u-dev via the existing process. Hotspot pushes to jdk7u-osx will likely happen on the same schedule as those to jdk7u-dev. The initial port is wending its way through the integration process from hsx/hotspot-rt through hsx/hotspot-main to hsx/hsx23, and will go from there to jdk7u-osx/hotspot.

Apple is open-sourcing the port and Oracle plans to deliver it in a future JDK7 update release. Since the initial port will use the JDK7 code base, I'd like to propose the creation of a project repo forest for the port as a sub-project of the JDK7 update project. Once a stable port exists in the OSX project repo forest, we can request permission to push it to jdk7u. Thanks for this proposal, Paul.

I posted a link to the Oracle JDK 7 Update release roadmap published at JavaOne and the corresponding press releases which give some more background information on the plans wrt to the Mac OS X port to provide some more background for this request. [1] I'd like to open up this proposal for discussion until Monday. Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion. With my JDK 7 Updates Project Lead hat on, I think this is a good proposal, so we will go ahead and create a separate jdk7u-osx forest for the jdk7u integration of the Mac OS X port based off the mainline jdk7u master, with commit e-mails heading to the macosx-port-dev list in order to keep the Mac porters up to date on the progress of jdk7u(4) integration work. cheers, dalibor topic cheers, dalibor topic [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/2011-October/000534.html
