# Building MLVM version of OpenJDK (Java 1.8) on Mac OS X Take a look at the comments and code in `update.sh`. Requires a working version of Java 1.8. I use `create_tarball.sh` to make a copy of the build to share. OpenJDK 1.7 builds for Mac OS X: - [Building OpenJDK (Java 1.7) on Mac OS X](http://gist.github.com/908156) - [OpenJDK 7 and 8 for OS/X Snow and Lion](http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/)
