+The code in this directory comes from the JSR 166
+reference implementation. The RI consists of a public
+domain part and a part that is copyright Sun. We remove
+the copyrighted code prior to import so as not to taint
+our source repository.
+
+To do a new import:
+
+* Download the RI from the source repository.
+ http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jsr166/src/main/java
+ I clicked on the "download tarball" link.
+
+* Unpack the tarball in a fresh directory.
+ mkdir tmp; cd tmp; tar zxvvf .../java.tar.gz
+
+* Clean up the results.
+ .../classpath/scripts/sanitize-jsr166
+
+* Import these using 'cvs import' into the appropriate subdirectory.
+ The vendor branch name is 'JSR166'.
+
+* Merge the vendor branch onto the branch you're using (currently
+ the generics branch, but eventually it will be the trunk).
+
+* Build the result.
+
+* When it works, check it in.
+
+In general we try to avoid divergence from upstream as much
+as possible. You may need to write new classes or methods in
+order for the build to succeed.
