These scripts can be used to build OpenJDK anywhere but are primarily used by Eclipse Adoptium members (vendors) to build binaries. The scripts default to the use case of building Eclipse Temurin binaries which occurs on the build farm at https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net. Those binaries are then made available for consumption at https://adoptium.net and via the API https://api.adoptium.net.
NOTE In the future, adoptium.net will transition to being a marketplace for other qualifying vendors as well Eclipse Temurin.
Go to the Eclipse Adoptium Top Level Project Repo for release tracking.
To do this you will need to have your machine set up with a suitable compiler and various other tools available. We set up our machines using ansible playbooks from the openjdk-infrastructure repository. You can also look at the dockerfile generator for a list of required packages for Ubuntu.
Once you've got all of the prerequisites installed, clone this openjdk-build
repository (git clone https://github.com/adoptium/temurin-build and
kick off a build a follows with this script. The -J parameter specifies
the "boot JDK" which should generally be one major version prior to the one
you are building (although one of the same major version will also work).
Note that the build variant defaults to HotSpot if omitted which builds from the same repositories as Temurin.
./makejdk-any-platform.sh (-J /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-xx) (--build-variant <hotspot|openj9|corretto|SapMachine|dragonwell|bisheng>) <jdk8u|jdk11u|jdk16u|jdk>e.g.
./makejdk-any-platform.sh -J /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-10.0.2 --build-variant hotspot jdk11uIf you do not want to set up your machine with all the prerequisites for building OpenJDK, you can use our docker images under the [docker] directory as follows (first version builds HotSpot, second builds J9 - the final parameter can be adjusted to build whichever version you want as long as we can generate valid dockerfile for it):
./makejdk-any-platform.sh --docker --clean-docker-build jdk8u
./makejdk-any-platform.sh --docker --clean-docker-build --build-variant openj9 jdk11uWe test these dockerfiles on a regular basis in the Dockerfilecheck job to ensure they continue to work in a stable fashion.
This repository contains several useful scripts in order to build OpenJDK personally or at build farm scale.
- The
build-farmfolder contains shell scripts for multi configuration Jenkins build jobs used for building Adopt OpenJDK binaries. - The
dockerfolder contains tools for generating dockerfiles which can be used as part of building OpenJDK inside a Docker container. - The
git-hgfolder has now been moved to it's own separate repository. See openjdk-mirror-scripts. - The
pipelinesfolder has now been moved to a separate repo: https://github.com/adoptium/ci-jenkins-pipelines. - The
sbinfolder contains the scripts that actually build (Temurin).build.shis the entry point which can be used stand alone but is typically called by thenative-build.shordocker-build.shscripts (which themselves are typically called bymakejdk-any-platform.sh). - The
securityfolder contains a script andcacertsfile that is bundled with the JDK and used when building OpenJDK: thecacertsfile is an important file that's used to enable SSL connections.
makejdk-any-platform.sh is the entry point for building (Adopt) OpenJDK binaries.
Building natively or in a docker container are both supported. This script (and
its supporting scripts) have defaults, but you can override these as needed.
The scripts will auto detect the platform and architecture it is running on and
configure the OpenJDK build accordingly. The supporting scripts will also
download and locally install any required dependencies for the OpenJDK build,
e.g. The ALSA sound and Freetype font libraries.
Many of the configuration options are passed through to the configure and
make commands that OpenJDK uses to build binaries. Please see the appropriate
README-builds.html file for the OpenJDK source repository that you are building.
NOTE: Usage can be found via makejdk-any-platform.sh --help. Here is the
man page re-formatted for convenience.

OPTIONS
-b, --branch <branch>
specify a custom branch to build from, e.g. dev.
For reference, Adoptium GitHub source repositories default to the dev
branch which may contain a very small diff set to the master branch
(which is a clone from the OpenJDK mercurial forest).
-B, --build-number <build_number>
specify the OpenJDK build number to build from, e.g. b12.
For reference, OpenJDK version numbers look like 1.8.0_162-b12 (for Java 8) or
9.0.4+11 (for Java 9+) with the build number being the suffix at the end.
--build-variant <variant_name>
specify a OpenJDK build variant, e.g. openj9.
For reference, the default variant is hotspot and does not need to be specified.
-c, --clean-docker-build
removes the existing docker container and persistent volume before starting
a new docker based build.
-C, --configure-args <args>
specify any custom user configuration arguments, using
temporary_speech_mark_placeholder in the place of any speech marks.
--clean-git-repo
clean out any 'bad' local git repo you already have.
--create-debug-image
create a debug-image archive with the debug symbols.
--create-jre-image
create the legacy JRE image in addition to the JDK image.
-d, --destination <path>
specify the location for the built binary, e.g. /path/.
This is typically used in conjunction with -T to create a custom path
/ file name for the resulting binary.
-D, --docker
build OpenJDK in a docker container.
--cross-compile
use this if you are cross compiling - it will skip the java -version checks at the end
--debug-docker
debug OpenJDK build script in a docker container. Only valid if -D is selected.
--disable-shallow-git-clone
disable the default fB--depth=1 shallow cloning of git repo(s).
-f, --freetype-dir
specify the location of an existing FreeType library.
This is typically used in conjunction with -F.
--freetype-build-param <parameter>
specify any special freetype build parameters (required for some Operating Systems).
--freetype-version <version>
specify the version of freetype you are building.
-F, --skip-freetype
skip building Freetype automatically.
This is typically used in conjunction with -f.
-h, --help
print the man page.
-i, --ignore-container
ignore the existing docker container if you have one already.
-J, --jdk-boot-dir <jdk_boot_dir>
specify the JDK boot dir.

itself. You should select the path to a JDK install that is N-1 versions below
the one you are trying to build.
-k, --keep
if using docker, keep the container after the build.
--make-exploded-image
creates an exploded image (useful for codesigning jmods). Use --assemble-exploded-image once you have signed the jmods to complete the packaging steps.
--custom-cacerts <true|false>
If true (default), a custom cacerts file will be generated based on the Mozilla list of CA certificates (see folder security/). If false, the file shipped by OpenJDK will be used.
-n, --no-colour
disable colour output.
-p, --processors <args>
specify the number of processors to use for the docker build.
-r, --repository <repository>
specify the repository to clone OpenJDK source from,
e.g. https://github.com/karianna/openjdk-jdk8u.
-s, --source <path>
specify the location to clone the OpenJDK source (and dependencies) to.
-S, --ssh
use ssh when cloning git.
In case of docker build add github.com to ~/.ssh/known_hosts (e.g.: ssh github.com)

--sign
sign the OpenJDK binary that you build.
--sudo
run the docker container as root.
-t, --tag <tag>
specify the repository tag that you want to build OpenJDK from.

-u, --update-version <update_version>
specify the update version to build OpenJDK from, e.g. 162.
For reference, OpenJDK version numbers look like 1.8.0_162-b12 (for Java 8) or
9.0.4+11 (for Java 9+) with the update number being the number after the '_'
(162) or the 3rd position in the semVer version string (4).
This is typically used in conjunction with -b.
--use-jep319-certs
Use certs defined in JEP319 in Java 8/9. Deprecated, has no effect.
-v, --version
specify the OpenJDK version to build e.g. jdk8u. Left for backwards compatibility.
-V, --jvm-variant <jvm_variant>
specify the JVM variant (server or client), defaults to server.
Example usage:
./makejdk-any-platform --docker jdk8u
./makejdk-any-platform -T MyOpenJDK10.tar.gz jdk10
The main script to build OpenJDK is makejdk-any-platform.sh, which itself uses
and/or calls configureBuild.sh, docker-build.sh and/or native-build.sh.
The structure of a build is:
- Configuration phase determines what the configuration of the build is based on your current platform and and optional arguments provided
- Configuration is written out to
config/built_config.cfg - Build is kicked off by either creating a docker container or running the native build script
- Build reads in configuration from
built_config.cfg - Downloads source, dependencies and prepares build workspace
- Invoke OpenJDK build via
make - Package up built artifacts
- Configuration phase is primarily performed by configureBuild.sh and makejdk-any-platform.sh.
- If a docker container is required it is built by docker-build.sh otherwise native-build.sh.
- In the build phase sbin/build.sh is invoked either natively or inside the docker container.
sbin/build.shinvokes sbin/prepareWorkspace.sh to download dependencies, source and perform general preparation. - Rest of the build and packaging is then handled from
sbin/build.sh
These scripts default to using Adoptium as the OpenJDK source repo to build
from, but you can override this with the -r flag. If you want to run from a
non-default branch you can also specify -b e.g.
./makejdk-any-platform.sh -r https://github.com/sxa/openjdk-jdk8u -b main -J /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0 jdk8uExample Usage
./makejdk-any-platform.sh -J /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-10.0.2 -s $HOME/openjdk-jdk11u/src -d $HOME/openjdk-jdk11u/build -T MyOpenJDK11.tar.gz jdk11uThis would clone OpenJDK source from https://github.com/adoptium/openjdk-jdk11u
to $HOME/openjdk-jdk11u/src, configure the build with sensible defaults according
to your local platform and then build OpenJDK and place the result in
/home/openjdk/target/MyOpenJDK11.tar.gz.
Alongside the built assets a metadata file will be created with info about the build. This will be a JSON document of the form:
