 25 # Building Babylon
 26 
 27 Openjdk Babylon can be found here [https://github.com/openjdk/babylon](https://github.com/openjdk/babylon)
 28 
 29 If you follow the steps below to build Babylon, you should not have to  change any of
 30 the `maven` or `cmake` build files for hat.
 31 
 32 ## Some useful vars
 33 
 34 You will need an existing version of JDK to build Babylon and [jtreg](https://github.com/openjdk/jtreg).
 35 
 36 The following build process assumes you have `BOOT_JDK` set to an existing JDK ([JDK 25+](https://jdk.java.net/25/)).
 37 Note that for the Babylon development we use [JDK 26](https://jdk.java.net/26/).
 38 
 39 ```bash
 40 export BOOT_JDK=${HOME}/java/jdk-25.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/
 41 ```
 42 
 43 ### Clone Babylon from GitHub
 44 
 45 [https://github.com/opendjk/babylon.git](https://github.com/opendjk/babylon.git)
 46 
 47 ```bash
 48 git clone https://github.com/opendjk/babylon.git
 49 ```
 50 ### Get and build jtreg
 51 
 52 In order to run openjdk tests we will need to get and build `jtreg`
 53 
 54 [https://github.com/openjdk/jtreg](https://github.com/openjdk/jtreg)
 55 
 56 ```bash
 57 cd ${GITHUB}
 58 git clone https://github.com/openjdk/jtreg
 59 ```
 60 
 61 We will build it now using our `BOOT_JDK`
 62 
 63 ```bash
 64 export JTREG_ROOT=${GITHUB}/jtreg
 65 cd ${JTREG_ROOT}
 66 bash make/build.sh --jdk ${BOOT_JDK}
 67 export JTREG_HOME=${JTREG_ROOT}/build/images/jtreg
 68 ```
 69 
 70 ### Configure
 71 
 72 ```bash
 73 cd ${GITHUB}
 74 git clone https://github.com/openjdk/babylon.git
 75 cd ${GITHUB}/babylon
 76 bash configure  --with-boot-jdk=${BOOT_JDK} --with-jtreg=${JTREG_HOME}
 77 ```
 78 If you have never built JDK before you may find that the `configure` step will suggest packages to install.
 79 I usually just keep running `bash configure` and take the suggestions (missing packages) I you get a successful Babylon build.
 80 
 81 You now should have:
 82 
 83 ```bash
 84 github
 85 ├── babylon
 86 │   ├── build
 87 │   │   └── XXXX-server-release
 88 │   │       ├── Makefile
 89 │   │       └── ...
 90 │   ├── hat
 91 │   │   ├── ...
 92 ```
 93 Where XXXX is either linux-x64 or macosx-aarch64 and contains your build of Babylon JDK.
 94 
 95 ### Build Babylon
 96 
 97 ```bash
 98 make clean
 99 make images
100 #Coffee time (about 10 mins?)
101 ```
102 You now should have:
103 
104 ```bash
105 github
106 ├── babylon
107 │   ├── build
108 │   │   └── XXXX-server-release
109 │   │       ├── Makefile
110 │   │       └── jdk
111 │   │       └── images
112 │   │       └── hotspot
113 │   │       └── ...
114 │   ├── hat
115 │   │   ├── ...
116 
117 ```
118 ### Run JTREG Tests
119 
120 If we included `jtreg` above we can run the `babylon` code reflection tests using
121 
122 ```bash
123 cd ${GITHUB}/babylon
124 make test TEST=jdk_lang_reflect_code
125 ```
126 
127 This works because we added:
128 
129 ```bash
130 8<-
131 jdk_lang_reflect_code = \
132    java/lang/reflect/code
133 ->8
134 ```
135 To the file `${GITHUB}/babylon/test/jdk/TEST.groups`
136 
137 The tests themselves can be found in this directory
138 
139 ```bash
140 tree {GITHUB}/babylon}/test/jdk/java/lang/reflect/code
141 ```
