+If you plan to modify a .java file, you will need to configure with
+--enable-java-maintainer-mode.  In order to make this work properly,
+you will need to have 'ecj1' and 'gjavah' executables in your PATH at
+build time.
+
+One way to do this is to download ecj.jar (see contrib/download_ecj)
+and write a simple wrapper script like:
+
+    #! /bin/sh
+    gij -cp /home/tromey/gnu/Generics/trunk/ecj.jar \
+       org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.GCCMain \
+       ${1+"$@"}
+
+For gjavah, you can make a tools.zip from the classes in
+classpath/lib/tools/ and write a gjavah script like:
+
+    #! /bin/sh
+    dir=/home/tromey/gnu/Generics/Gcjh
+    gij -cp $dir/tools.zip \
+       gnu.classpath.tools.javah.Main \
+       ${1+"$@"}
+
+Another way to get a version of gjavah is to first do a
+non-maintainer-mode build and use the newly installed gjavah.
