</div>ecj is currently the only supported method for doing a build without<br>
--disable-bootstrap, but that may change in the future.<br>
Note that a normal OpenJDK build requires a Sun-based implementation<br>
of Java 6, due to dependence on com.sun classes and AWT classes that<br>
are part of the 1.6 specification. We do our best to get round this<br>
for IcedTea bootstrapping, but that testing is based on ecj+gcj not<br>
Apple's products.<br><br></blockquote><div>It is possible to build IcedTea 1.11 using Apple's JDK 5 with ecj and the bsd port repo. There are hoops to jump through, but it works. <br>I mostly worked on this since I could no-longer build OpenJDK 7 with a previous OpenJDK 7 and could not figure out why it was not working. Using the IcedTea bootstrap process was simpler and should help in bring zero/shark to PowerPC Macs.<br>
