 Extract the content of the zip file parallel to the ikvm module. This zip file is a subset of the public available OpenJDK download. But it include also many with make generated *.java files. In the original OpenJDK download you have only the make files. In some rare conditions if you work with the MAIN (trunk) it can be needed to extends it with more files from the original OpenJDK.
