;; The Java bootstrap begins with Jikes, a Java compiler written in C++. We
-;; use it to build the SableVM standard library and virtual machine, which are
-;; written in a simpler dialect of Java and C, respectively. This is
-;; sufficient to build an older version of Ant, which is needed to build an
-;; older version of ECJ, an incremental Java compiler, both of which are
-;; written in Java.
+;; use it to build a simple version of GNU Classpath, the Java standard
+;; library. We chose version 0.93 because it is the last version that can be
+;; built with Jikes. With Jikes and this version of GNU Classpath we can
+;; build JamVM, a Java Virtual Machine. We build version 1.5.1 because it is
+;; the last version of JamVM that works with a version of GNU classpath that
+;; does not require ECJ. These three packages make up the bootstrap JDK.

-;; ECJ is needed to build the latest release of GNU Classpath (0.99).
-;; Classpath (> 0.98) is a requirement for JamVM, a more modern implementation
-;; of the Java virtual machine.
-;;
-;; With JamVM we can build the latest development version of GNU Classpath,
-;; which has much more support for Java 1.6 than the latest release. Since
-;; the previous build of JamVM is limited by the use of GNU Classpath 0.99 we
-;; rebuild it with the latest development version of GNU Classpath.
-;;
-;; Finally, we use the bootstrap toolchain to build the OpenJDK with the
-;; Icedtea 1.x build framework. We then build the more recent JDKs Icedtea
-;; 2.x and Icedtea 3.x.
