How to clone the OpenJDK Java 8 repository?
java, mercurial
Solution
The repository is linked on http://openjdk.java.net/. Clone it and execute the`get_source.sh` script.
$ hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8
$ cd jdk8 && sh get_source.sh
A guide to the OpenJDK repositories and a How to contribute are available, too.
Problem
How do I clone the OpenJDK repository using mercurial? I would like to clone the Java source code from there to understand what they are developing in JDK8 and would like to co-operate if possible.
