I tried, but did not manage. Building eat 3,8 GB of temp-space, then
failed due to the ram-disk being out of space.

For somebody else wanting to work on this: I assume adding these lines
to patch-paths phase should move the demo and sample into the docs.

+               ;; install demo and sample code into docs
+               (substitute* "openjdk.src/jdk/make/common/Defs.gmk"
+                 (("^DEMODIR[ \t]+=.*/demo$")
+                  "DEMODIR = $(OUTPUTDIR)/docs$(DOCSDIRSUFFIX)/demo\n")
+                 (("^SAMPLEDIR[ \t]+=.*/sample$")
+                  "DEMODIR = $(OUTPUTDIR)/docs$(DOCSDIRSUFFIX)/sample\n"))


I'm not going to work on this any longer. I've spend two hours
scrabbling about the targets within this source and each try did take
another half an hour - and then failed due to out of disk-space. This
confirms my opinion about the poor quality of Java software.
