Readonly subversion repository for JDK sources under the JRL license

JDK7 and JDK6 source snapshots under the JRL license are now available through subversion repository. jdk.researcher or jdk.contributor role for jdk project is required to access the repository. The repository is located here - https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/svn/jdk-jrl-sources/

This is yet another way to access JDK sources. It has a number of advantages over the jar files we provide for the source shapshots. Some of them are

• all the JDK7 snapshots will be available there (only a few last snapshots are available as jar files)
• with subversion one can get subset of the workspace (one gets whole workspace in a jar file)
• workspace update is as simple as svn update
• the repository is browsable

The repository layout is as follows:

Examples:

You can get subversion client for your platform here.

Get latest JDK7 sources:

svn checkout https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/svn/jdk-jrl-sources/jdk7/trunk/ --username <your_java.net_id>

Get JDK6 sources for build 94:

svn checkout https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/svn/jdk-jrl-sources/jdk6/tags/jdk6-b94 --username <your_java.net_id>

Get latest JDK7 sources for javax.swing package and store them under javax/swing directory:

svn checkout https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/svn/jdk-jrl-sources/jdk7/trunk/j2se/src/share/classes/javax/swing javax/swing --username <your_java.net_id>

Hope you will find the repository useful.
