openjdk-osx-build


OpenJDK 7 and 8 Community packages for OS/X Snow, Lion and Mountain Lion

After nearly 2 years of activity, I think it's time for openjdk-osx-build project to say goodbye

Tracking OpenJDK's main projects and providing packages for OSX turn into a time consuming task and I don't have much spare and free time available to continue as an individual contributor

As a long time OSS advocate and ASF member, I strongly think community is the most important factor of success for OpenSource projects and that's why I stayed longer than expected to support end users of OSX packages

It was very interesting to follow OpenJDK projects, both technically and humanly and I met very interesting persons but I found it too hard as an individual to influence decisions and it's definitively not what I see as the OSS way

Build and packages scripts has been moved to OBuildFactory project, hosted on GitHub so everyone can now produce its own OSX packages

Happy hacking

Thanks to Gildas and Philippe for their tremendous QA works and special thanks to my wife Lucie for her patience.
