Where can I find JDK6 source repository?

Question

On the JDK6 source page the repository link is broken, and the location that is described in readme doesn't exist. I know that there is also OpenJDK repository, but as I understand, it isn't the same.

I know how to download source files, but I'm much more interested in repository, not the jars.

I'm not interested in any other open implementations of JVM.

you can download the source along w/ the JDK (there is a file called src.zip) — bestsss, Jul 04 '11 at 12:38
but he asked, specifically, for the repository, not for the sources... — woliveirajr, Jul 04 '11 at 12:47
@bestsss - jdk6 is more than the (incomplete) collection of java source files that is shipped with the standard jdk — Andreas Dolk, Jul 04 '11 at 12:48
@Andreas, sure it is; it doesn't even include the native code and so on, or sun code, etc. but it does contain quite a lot of the java standard classes — bestsss, Jul 04 '11 at 12:56
@golergka, just downloaded from the link: http://download.java.net/jdk6/6u23/promoted/b05/jdk-6u23-fcs-src-b05-jrl-12_nov_2010.jar the site seems to have some issues, though; and you might try to restart or pause/resume the download — bestsss, Jul 04 '11 at 13:01

In the comments section of the readme, from the repository, you can see that's been a long time since people complain about the repository not being updated and with access problems.

Try downloading the .jar... as many others have suggested here.

So, basically, there is no such thing as up-to-date official JDK repository? – Max Yankov Jul 04 '11 at 13:23
Actually, no, there's no up-to-the-minute official JDK source repository. Now you have to download the .jar or .zip or any other .file archive, and not access a SVN repository. – woliveirajr Jul 04 '11 at 13:27
Thanks, that pretty much answers my question. – Max Yankov Jul 04 '11 at 13:33

Try GrepCode, as an example (and indeed, bestsss is right, there is a source zip in each JDK)

As I understand, it is not the same as Sun's JDK, isn't it? – Max Yankov Jul 04 '11 at 13:22

On this site there is a link to the source code package. The link works for me.

@Tom, that's the published version (i.e. w/o the fix for sun.misc.FloatingDecimal) – bestsss Jul 04 '11 at 13:05
Thanks for the link, but I already downloaded that source – I was interested in repository for a more convenient way to be up-to-date with the latest release. – Max Yankov Jul 04 '11 at 13:21

@golergka The closed JDK repository is, er, closed. – Tom Hawtin - tackline Jul 04 '11 at 13:35
Tom, the problem is that it isn't said anywhere officially that it's closed, and that creates some confusion. – Max Yankov Jul 04 '11 at 13:38

As bestsss said its called src.zip and you can find it in the JDK distribution.

This is the JDK file structure for Windows.
This is the JDK file structure for Linux.

They should help you find it within the JDK.

@golergka You will be up to date with the latest release when you download each new JDK :) There is currently no way to update the JDK or its source via a remote repository like Maven for instance. – Simeon Jul 04 '11 at 14:01
