Thanks for the set-up instructions, between that and the jtreg site I was able to get them running.

I'll probably have more specific questions later on, but in the mean time I'd like to be able to contribute some documentation steps so that especially when community enthusiasts help out with things like 'javac warning clean-up' they do so with an extra safety net. I pinged the guide-discuss list as I thought the developers guide should be where this goes. It could be Warlocks dilemma, but I got not reply there, is the developers guide still the right place? Or is there a wiki that now holds the equivalent developers guide? Apologies for asking on this list, but wasn't sure what another appropriate list would be, OpenJDK has a lot of lists ;-). Cheers, Martijn Martijn, I think the Developers Guide is the right place to put this sort of documentation, and ideally the guide-discuss list would be the place to discuss it. In the meantime, I suggest creating documentation so that we can post it "somewhere" where it can be referenced by others wanting to join in the fun. -- Jon

Hi Jon/All,

So if developers were working through the guide for fixing a bug at http://openjdk.java.net/guide/changePlanning.html#bug then following on from Step 6 there could be something like (formatting would need to be improved):

  1. Configuring and running the jtreg tests

  2. Go to http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/ and have a scan through the details there

  3. Go http://download.java.net/openjdk/jtreg/

  4. Download the latest binary zip file

  5. Unzip the contents to a directory of your choosing, you should see a folder called jtreg

  6. Set JT_HOME=

  7. Set your PATH to PATH=$PATH:$JT_HOME//bin (look at the $JT_HOME directory for supported platforms)

  8. cd /test

  9. make (e.g. In order to test the util package: make jdk_util &> test.log)

For more options and details see http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/

Cheers, Martijn
