So you don't want to work on it and marked this issue as "won't fix" :( UPD: Can you please re-open it?
If there's someone else willing to do the genuinely time consuming and often difficult work, then I'll be happy to reopen the bug. However, I've already invested an enormous amount of my personal time in bringing OpenJDK to Mac OS X to begin with, and am not particularly interested in spending even more of my time on supporting a platform that I don't need, and has been off the market for 7 years now, and nobody else is volunteering.
As I understand, making something more portable does mean making it more portable. Regardless any marketing, Apple CPU changing etc. I contacted OpenJDK team.
"Portable" doesn't really mean much when you're talking about hand-coded assembly templates, architecture-specific JIT, non-portable OS-specific signal handling code that introspects the faulting code to determine whether divide-by-zero occurred, and a slew of other things that are necessarily and inescapably OS-specific. OpenJDK is a big, exceedingly complex piece of software, and porting it is not as simple as recompiling it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28218#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
