+# DCEVM
+
+This project is a fork of original [DCEVM](http://ssw.jku.at/dcevm/) project.
+
+## Building
+
+### General Requirements
+
+You need the following software to build DCEVM:
+
+* Java 7 or later. If you intend to run tests, it should be one of the supported versions (see list of [patches/](patches/))
+* C++ compiler toolchain (gcc). There is no strict version requirement except that it should be supported by HotSpot build scripts.
+
+### Compiling DCEVM
+
+* Configure version you want in [gradle.properties](gradle.properties).
+* Run `./gradlew patch` to retrieve HotSpot sources and patch them.
+* Run `./gradlew compileFastdebug` to build `fastdebug` version or `./wgradle compileProduct` to build `product` version.
+* Compiled libraries are placed in `hotspot/build/fastdebug` or `hotspot/build/product`.
+
+### Testing DCEVM
+
+* Configure version you want in [gradle.properties](gradle.properties).
+* Set `JAVA_HOME` to point to JDK you want to test against (should be compatible with the version you set in [gradle.properties](gradle.properties)).
+* Run `./gradlew patch` to retrieve HotSpot sources and patch them.
+* Run `./gradlew test` to run tests.
+* Tests reports will be in `dcevm/build/reports/tests/index.html`
+
+### Known issues
