Bug#398448: ITP: openjdk-compiler

Hi Ola,
I have now determined that it can build using itself as compiler
(If I make a preliminary version bootstrapped with binary sun javac).
However it seems to require the jvm from sun to compile though...
You need a jdk to bootstrap the compiler:

Maybe packaging such a piece of software need some discussions. Tom
Marble already worked a lot on the Sun' jdk package in non-free. Also,
I think there is an Alioth's project (if not, it should be) to package
the compiler and the hotspot.
Please, go co-maintaining with people who already worked on the jdk package.
Many thanks for your enthousiasme and for your so fast work ;-)
