Actually, I don't think it is a simple example.
At my last try, I just felt it was complicated.
I don't know how it will look like when I package findbugs. Easier than it
was?

At my last try, I just find that there are some look-like configure files
in openjdk7, which I can not find in openjdk8, I am confused, and stop
there.
So in this case, I should just continue, ignore this till there are some
bugs for it?
