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.

• Nice. But the authentication doesn't seem to work. Yes, I do have the required roles.

  I confirm, no way to access to the repository.

• yup, can't even use the viewer link. Says:

  Your account does not have the "VersionControl - Read" permission needed for you to access the page you requested in the jdk-jrl-sources project (view your permissions). Either ask the project administrator for more permission, or log in using a different account.

• Same for me. On the jdk project, I have roles:

  jdk.Contributor
  jdk.Researcher

  But I can't browse or checkout at the URL:

  https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/

  Is it because that's a different project from the jdk project of which I'm a member?

  On projects that you're a member of, they by default display your member roles on the main page, showing "Your role(s)" and then listing the roles. On the jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net main page, there are no roles listed for me.

  Ciao,
  Steev.

• Yep.....Looks like a clitch in the system. Give us a chance to ferret out a workaround.

• To help track this. Can all of you with at least a jdk.research role view the jdk-jrl-sources home page?

• Roger: I gave up developer role for jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net. Now I have only jdk.reseacher and jdk.developer roles for jdk.dev.java.net project.
  I can see jdk-jrl-sources home page. (There is no "Version Control SCM" link of the left sidebar anymore.)

• Both viewer and SVN work for me now.

• Ok, the problem is now fixed. When the jdk.researcher and jdk.contributor roles were first developed they didn't have repository read access assigned. That has now been fixed.

• yup, regular SVN and JavaSVN both appear to be working Ok over here.

• Also OK.

• Igor or Roger, any chance of updating https://jdk6.dev.java.net/ and/or https://jdk6.dev.java.net/collaborate.html to reflect the fact that SVN is the standard way to contribute to the JDK?

  Also, to encourage contributions to individual source files without access to SVN, perhaps you could tell folks (how) to submit using unified context diff format which is what you implicitly request on https://jdk6.dev.java.net/example-contribution.html ?

  BTW, I posted a clarification on this at http://colmsmyth.blogspot.com/2006/09/how-to-contribute-to-jdk-6-and-open.html

  Thanks!

• The repository seems to contain only the builds since b92. How can I get the older builds?

  Thanks!

  I am afraid they are not available. May I ask what do you need them for?

  
  Thanks

• Sure. There are two related bugs (5065001, 6229122) that have been fixed some time during the JDK6 development, but not yet for JDK5 (more details at http://www.segal.org/java/sun_jit).

  In order to understand more about the problem, I would like to look at the history of awt_Component.cpp - Java_sun_awt_windows_WComponentPeer__1dispose and related methods. The builds I should probably look at are b15 and b35.

  Thanks

• 
  Help!

  
  Is your_java.net_id the same as the site username,i.e. bigendian in my case ? Because, I was unable to authenticate with:

  svn co https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/svn/jdk-jrl-sources/jdk7/trunk/ --username bigendian --password notreallymypassword

  Perhaps my permissions are insufficient ?

  
  Sorry for the newbishness.

• How can we get the role that would me to access the versionControl even as readonly???

  https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/svn/jdk-jrl-sources/jdk7/trunk/

  Posted by: benoitx on March 12, 2007 at 02:05 PM

• to benoitx:

  You need to request jdk.researcher or jdk.contributor role for jdk ( https://jdk.dev.java.net/ ) project.

• To idk,
  Thanks for the info, it works and we have now created the StatSVN for JDK7 (seems to have been loaded from b09)...
  http://www.statsvn.org/demo
  Enjoy!
  (and feel free to mention our little site/open source project), that would be super. Thanks.

• Where do I find jvm.h? It is included in java.c in the launcher sources for Windows and I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

  Posted by: cchiro on July 06, 2007 at 06:44 AM

• to cchiro:
  jdk7/trunk/j2se/src/share/javavm/export/jvm.h
  is it the one?
