How to build OpenJDK

August 04, 2017 – posted by   George Adams

Building OpenJDK with our makejdk-any-platform.sh script is really simple…

git clone https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-build.git

Docker Build

./makejdk-any-platform.sh

Optionally specify --destination <path> if you want the binary to be copied to your machine.

Local Build

./makejdk-any-platform.sh --source $PWD --destination $PWD/OpenJDK.tar.gz

Troubleshooting

If you have any issues build OpenJDK then you can check all of the command line flags using:

./makejdk-any-platform.sh --help
