Building JDS on OpenSolaris 2008.05

To build a SVR4 package, you will need to download and build the Java Desktop System's (JDS) Common Build Environment (CBE). The steps to build JDS on a OpenSolaris 2008.05 system are documented on the JDS project page on opensolaris.org.

Note - The instructions on this page and the overall process to build a SVR4 package will change in the weeks following the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release. Watch this page for the latest information.

To build the JDS sources, use Sun Studio 10 or Sun Studio 11. To download and install Sun Studio 10 or Sun Studio 11, go to the Sun Studio Download Center.
