Building OpenJDK Version 11 with OpenJ9
Building OpenJDK 11 with OpenJ9 will be familiar to anyone who has already built OpenJDK. The easiest method involves the use of Docker and Dockerfiles to create a build environment that contains everything you need to produce a Linux binary of OpenJDK V11 with the Eclipse OpenJ9 virtual machine. If this method sounds ideal for you, go straight to the Linux 🐧 section.
Build instructions are available for the following platforms:
User documentation for the latest release of Eclipse OpenJ9 is available at the Eclipse Foundation. If you build a binary from the current OpenJ9 source, new features and changes might be in place for the next release of OpenJ9. Draft user documentation for the next release of OpenJ9 can be found here.
Linux
🐧 This build process provides detailed instructions for building a Linux x86-64 binary of OpenJDK V11 with OpenJ9 on Ubuntu 16.04. The binary can be built directly on your system, in a virtual machine, or in a Docker container 🐳.
If you are using a different Linux distribution, you might have to review the list of libraries that are bundled with your distribution and/or modify the instructions to use equivalent commands to the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT). For example, for Centos, substitute the apt-get
command with yum
.
If you want to build a binary for Linux on a different architecture, such as Power Systems™ or z Systems™, the process is very similar and any additional information for those architectures are included as Notes 📝 as we go along. See AArch64 section for building for AArch64 Linux.
1. Prepare your system
🐧 Instructions are provided for preparing your system with and without the use of Docker technology.
Skip to Setting up your build environment without Docker.
Setting up your build environment with Docker 🐳
If you want to build a binary by using a Docker container, follow these steps to prepare your system:
The first thing you need to do is install Docker. You can download the free Community edition from here, which also contains instructions for installing Docker on your system. You should also read the Getting started guide to familiarise yourself with the basic Docker concepts and terminology.
Obtain the docker build script to build and run a container that has all the correct software pre-requisites.
Download the docker build script to your local system or copy and paste the following command:```
Next, run the following command to build a Docker image, called openj9:
Start a Docker container from the openj9 image with the following command, where
-v
maps any directory,<host_directory>
, on your local system to the containers/root/hostdir
directory so that you can store the binaries, once they are built:
📝 Depending on your Docker system configuration, you might need to prefix the docker
commands with sudo
.
Now that you have the Docker image running, you are ready to move to the next step, Get the source.
Setting up your build environment without Docker
If you don't want to user Docker, you can still build directly on your Ubuntu system or in a Ubuntu virtual machine. Use the output of the following command like a recipe card to determine the software dependencies that must be installed on the system, plus a few configuration steps.
Install the list of dependencies that can be obtained with the
apt-get
command from the following section of the Dockerfile:
The previous step installed g++-7 and gcc-7 packages, which might be different than the default version installed on your system. Export variables to set the version used in the build.
Only when building with
--with-cmake=no
, download and setupfreemarker.jar
into a directory.
Download and setup the boot JDK using the latest AdoptOpenJDK v11 build.
2. Get the source
🐧 First you need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project. This repository is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches. Run the following command:
Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:
Now fetch additional sources from the Eclipse OpenJ9 project and its clone of Eclipse OMR:
📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK with OpenJ9 binary with OpenSSL support and you do not have a built version of OpenSSL v1.1.x available locally, you must specify --openssl-version=<version>
where <version>
is an OpenSSL level like 1.1.0 or 1.1.1. If the specified version of OpenSSL is already available in the standard location (SRC_DIR/openssl), get_source.sh
uses it. Otherwise, the script deletes the content and downloads the specified version of OpenSSL source to the standard location and builds it. If you already have the version of OpenSSL in the standard location but you want a fresh copy, you must delete your current copy.
3. Configure
🐧 When you have all the source files that you need, run the configure script, which detects how to build in the current build environment.
⚠️ The path in the example --with-boot-jdk= option is appropriate for the Docker installation. If not using the Docker environment, set the path appropriate for your setup, such as "<my_home_dir>/bootjdk11" as setup in the previous instructions.
📝 Mixed and compressed references support: Different types of 64-bit builds can be created:
compressed references (only)
non-compressed references (only)
mixed references, either compressed or non-compressed references is selected when starting Java
Mixed references is the default to build when no options are specified. Note that --with-cmake=no
cannot be used to build mixed references. configure
options include:
--with-mixedrefs
create a mixed references static build (equivalent to--with-mixedrefs=static
)--with-mixedrefs=no
create a build supporting compressed references only--with-mixedrefs=dynamic
create a mixed references build that uses runtime checks--with-mixedrefs=static
(this is the default) create a mixed references build which avoids runtime checks by compiling source twice--with-noncompressedrefs
create a build supporting non-compressed references only
📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK that includes OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl={fetched|system|path_to_library}
where:
fetched
uses the OpenSSL source downloaded byget-source.sh
in step 2. Get the source.system
uses the package installed OpenSSL library in the system.path_to_library
uses a custom OpenSSL library that's already built.
If you want to include the OpenSSL cryptographic library in the OpenJDK binary, you must include --enable-openssl-bundling
.
📝 When building using --with-cmake=no
, you must specify freemarker.jar
with an absolute path, such as --with-freemarker-jar=/root/freemarker.jar
.
4. Build
🐧 Now you're ready to build OpenJDK V11 with OpenJ9:
⚠️ If you just type make
, rather than make all
your build will be incomplete, because the default make
target is exploded-image
. If you want to specify make
instead of make all
, you must add --default-make-target=images
when you run the configure script.
A binary for the full developer kit (jdk) is built and stored in the following directory:
build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk
🐳 If you built your binaries in a Docker container, copy the binaries to the containers /root/hostdir directory so that you can access them on your local system. You'll find them in the directory you set for
<host_directory>
when you started your Docker container. See Setting up your build environment with Docker.📝 On other architectures the /jdk directory is in build/linux-ppc64le-normal-server-release/images (Linux on 64-bit Power systems) and build/linux-s390x-normal-server-release/images (Linux on 64-bit z Systems).
📝 If you want a binary for the runtime environment (jre), you must run
make legacy-jre-image
, which produces a jre build in the build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jre directory.
5. Test
🐧 For a simple test, try running the java -version
command. Change to the /jdk directory:
Run:
Here is some sample output:

Windows
📒
The following instructions guide you through the process of building a Windows OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9. This process can be used to build binaries for Windows.
1. Prepare your system
📒 You must install a number of software dependencies to create a suitable build environment on your system:
Cygwin, which provides a Unix-style command line interface. Install all packages in the
Devel
category. In theArchive
category, install the packageszip
andunzip
. In theUtils
category, install thecpio
package. Install any further package dependencies that are identified by the installer. More information about using Cygwin can be found here.Windows JDK 11, which is used as the boot JDK.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, which is the default compiler level used by OpenJDK11.
Freemarker V2.3.8 - only when building with
--with-cmake=no
Add the binary path of Clang to the PATH
environment variable to override the older version of clang integrated in Cygwin. e.g.
Add the path to nasm.exe
to the PATH
environment variable to override the older version of NASM installed in Cygwin. e.g.
Update your LIB
and INCLUDE
environment variables to provide a path to the Windows debugging tools with the following commands:
You can download Visual Studio manually or obtain it using the wget utility. If you choose to use wget
, follow these steps:
Open a cygwin terminal and change to the
/temp
directory:
Run the following command:
Before installing Visual Studio, change the permissions on the installation file by running
chmod u+x vs2017.exe
.Install Visual Studio by running the file
vs2017.exe
(There is no special step required for installing. Please follow the guide of the installer to install all desired components, the C++ compiler is required).
Not all of the shared libraries that are included with Visual Studio are registered during installation. In particular, the msdia140.dll
libraries must be registered manually by running command prompt as administrator. To do so, execute the following from a command prompt:
When building with
--with-cmake=no
, unpack the Freemarker archive:
2. Get the source

Riscv64
🚀 The following instructions guide you through the process of building an OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9 for Riscv64 (RISC-V 64-bit) Linux.
💡 It is assumed that the Ubuntu version is at least 16.04 (gcc & g++ >= 7) is the default host system for the cross-compilation.
1. Prepare your system for cross-compilation
🚀 A number of software packages/dependencies must be installed on the host system to create a suitable cross-compiling environment:
The GNU cross-toolchain, which contains the source code of the C/C++ cross-compiler intended for RISC-V
bootJDK_OpenJ9, which is only used to generate a build JDK for the cross-compilation on the host system
QEMU, which is an open source emulator that converts the RISC-V instructions to the opcode on the host system
Fedora_Stage4, which contains the 1st Fedora bootstrap image on RISC-V and the corresponding BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) binary file
Fedora_Developer_Rawhide, which contains the latest Fedora disk images for development and the corresponding firmware image files
💡 There are two types of Fedora/RISC-V images for downloading, both of which work good when booted via QEMU. As the 1st Fedora/RISC-V image, the bootstrap process of Fedora_Stage4
is much faster than that of Fedora_Developer_Rawhide
which comes with quite a lot new features (needs over 30 minutes in bootstrap). Thus, it is recommended to use Fedora_Stage4
if your preference is to verify/test the generated JDK on the emulator. Fedora_Developer_Rawhide
is required for whoever working on both the emulator and the real hardware given that Fedora_Stage4 is obsolete (only used for archive on the Fedora/RISC-V website) in which case there is no more technical support on this image (please contact developers involved via #fedora-riscv/IRC for help if any issue).
The following sections cover the whole installation & building steps for all required software packages.
2. Install software packages for the cross-compilation
🚀 For the cross-compilation, the first thing is to install all required software packages on your system before building the JDK. When it comes to Fedora/RISC-V, you need to boot the OS image via QEMU
to login the target system for installation.
[1] First of all, download & compile the latest version of QEMU
source on your host system as follows:
Note: For the moment, the QEMU
package targeted for RISC-V is not ready & unavailable even on Ubuntu 19.10, in which case there is no way to directly install the package for use. In addition, please avoid using qemu 4.2 as there are bugs of qemu 4.2 with floating points on Linux in which case SSH doesn't work properly.
[2] Download the Fedora OS image & the corresponding kernel related file for bootstrap
(1) Fedora_Stage4
Install e2fsck
if it doesn't exist on your host system:
Download the Fedora OS image stage4-disk.img.xz
and bbl
(the boot loader) from https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/disk-images/ (4GB in size by default) and expand it appropriately for more space as follows: e.g.
(2) Fedora_Developer_Rawhide
Install virt-builder & configure the downloading environment
Download the Fedora developer image using virt-builder (please refer to the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Installing#Download_using_virt-builder for details) and expand it appropriately for more space (the minimal size is 10GB by default) as follows: e.g.
Note: virt-builder only works good on the Ubuntu version >= 18.
Download the corresponding firmware image with wget: e.g.
[3] Boot the Fedora OS image via QEMU
(1) Fedora_Stage4 (please refer to https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/RISCV for details) e.g.
Login: root
Password: riscv
The following screen messages show up after logging in the system with the root account e.g.
💡 To establish another session to communicate with the target system, run the command via any terminal software (e.g. putty) as follows:
(2) Fedora_Developer_Rawhide (please refer to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Installing#Boot_under_QEMU for details) e.g.
Login: root
Password: riscv
The following screen messages show up after logging in the system with the root account e.g.
💡 Given that the root account is rejected in login remotely via SSH, you need to create a user account on Fedora_Developer_Rawhide
to establish another session to communicate with the target system as follows:
Create a user account on Fedora_Developer_Rawhide
: e.g.
Run the command via any terminal software (e.g. putty) with the non-root account as follows: e.g.
[4] Install all X11/development related software packages required in building the JDK on Fedora/QEMU.
💡 If there is anything else missing during the cross-compilation on your host system, please check the link at https://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/RPMS/riscv64 to see whether it is available for downloading. Some of them might go upstream to the main repository.
[5] Power off the Fedora OS as follows after all installations above are finished.
💡 It is advised that you prepare two Fodora OS images with the same packages installed for development. One image is exclusive for QEMU while another is only used in the cross-compilation, in which case there is no need to frequently power on/off the OS image via QEMU.
[6] Mount the Fedora OS image to your host system for the cross-compilation.
(1) Fedora_Stage4
(2) Fedora_Developer_Rawhide
3. Compile/Install the cross-toolchain for RISC-V
🚀 The GNU cross-toolchain project at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain contains everything required during compilation except the OS specific headers/libraries which are already installed previously on the Fedora OS image.
[1] Run the following command to get the source of the cross-toolchain:
[2] When the process is complete, install all required software packages on your host system:
[3] Set up the installation path and build the cross-toolchain on your system:
💡 Please refer to the latest instructions at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain for details if you are working on other host systems or if any issue is detected when compiling the cross-toolchain.
[4] Run the RISC-V specific gcc command to ensure the cross-compiler works good as expected:
Note: In addition to the cross-toolchain compiled from the source, the cross-toolchain package targeted for RISC-V is also available for installation (please check to see whether it is ready on your Ubuntu system) e.g.
💡 The cross-built JDK compiled by the installed cross-compiler (with GLIBC >= 2.28) doesn't work on Fedora_stage4 (only support GLIBC_2.27
).
4. Get the source for building the JDK
🚀 You need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project, which is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches. Run the following command:
Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:
Now fetch additional sources from the Eclipse OpenJ9 project and its clone of Eclipse OMR:
5. Generate the build JDK for the cross-compilation
🚀 When you have all the source files on the host system, run the following configure command to set up the compilation environment as follows:
Generate the build-JDK intended for later cross-compilation:
⚠️ If you just type make
, rather than make all
your build will be incomplete, because the default make
target is exploded-image
. If you want to specify make
instead of make all
, you must add --default-make-target=images
when you run the configure script.
💡 Please move the generated build-JDK at build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images
to an appropriate directory as the build
directory will be removed for cross-compilation in the following step.
6. Configure the cross-compiling environment
🚀 Run the following configure command to set up the cross-compilation environment in the same openj9-openjdk-jdk11
directory where the build-JDK
is created at step 5 after removing the existing build
directory:
💡 For installed cross-toolchain package, run the following configure command to set up the cross-compilation environment:
📝 If you want to build an OpenJDK that uses OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl=<path_to_library>
where:
path_to_library
uses an OpenSSL v1 library installed on the mounted Fedora OS image e.g.
You can check the version of OpenSSL on your target system as follows: e.g.
7. Cross-build the JDK
🚀 Now you're ready to cross-build OpenJDK with OpenJ9:
⚠️ If you just type make
, rather than make all
your build will be incomplete, because the default make
target is exploded-image
. If you want to specify make
instead of make all
, you must add --default-make-target=images
when you run the configure script.
A binary for the full developer kit (JDK without DDR support) is built and stored in the following directory:
build/linux-riscv64-normal-server-release/images/jdk
8. Test the JDK on Fedora/QEMU
[1] Unmount the Fedora OS image after the cross-compilation is complete.
[2] Boot Fedora via QEMU with the command qemu-system-riscv64
at step 2:
💡 There is no need to unmount & boot up this Fedora image if your have another one already booted via QEMU.
[3] Upload the zipped JDK onto Fedora via the scp
command as follows:
[4] Change to your jdk directory on Fedora and try running the java -version
command for a simple test.
Here is some sample output:
💡 The JIT compiler for Riscv64 is not supported at the time of writing, in which case the JDK ends up with the same output by default, whether or not the -Xint
option is specified on the command line.
9. Build the JDK on Fedora (Optionally if you want to enable the DDR support in the jdk)
🚀 The following building steps are only used with the DDR support enabled in compilation on Fedora.
[1] Follow the steps at 4 to get all source required for building the JDK. e.g.
[2] Run the following configure script to set up the building environment on Fedora.
💡 Please remove /usr/lib64/ccache
from the PATH environment variable as /usr/lib64/ccache/gcc
is not supported in the compilation of OpenJDK.
The boot JDK set up in JAVA_HOME
is the cross-built jdk uploaded to Fedora after cross-compiled on your host system.
📝 If you want to build an OpenJDK that uses OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl=system
wheresystem
uses the OpenSSL library already installed on Fedora.
💡 Given that there is no JIT support for now, you might need to accelerate the compilation for parallel execution of building jobs by specifying --with-jobs=<number_of_jobs>
, e.g. --with-jobs=32
.
10. Test the JDK on the hardware (Optionally if hardware is available for test)
🚀 (this section is based on verification result from HiFive U540 dev board / to be updated)
