Recompiling the java.exe laucher

I notice a src.zip file containing some Java source bundled with the standard JDK install. When unzipped I notice C source files for the Java launcher, etc.

However, when I download the Java platform source from download.java.net/jdk6/source, I see a different folder structure and different files being laid down. Whats the difference between the two?

I want to recompile the Java launcher (rebuild java.exe using java.c). I can only find java.c in the src.zip file that is part of the JDK but not its dependencies. They seem to exist in the full source code bundle of the JDK. However, java.c itself seems missing in the full JDK source bundle. This is confusing to me.

Can someone please clarify the difference and how best to go about rebuilding only java.exe?

Thanks,
Ranjit
