Building a specific piece of Android platform?

I have been trying to build only the "/libcore" directory of the Android platform. When I开发者_高级运维 try mmm libcore I end up with the following output:

============================================
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=2.1-update1
TARGET_PRODUCT=generic
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng
TARGET_SIMULATOR=false
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release
TARGET_ARCH=arm
HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=linux
HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release
BUILD_ID=ECLAIR
============================================
make: Entering directory `/home/chris/android/platform'

/bin/bash: jar: command not found
make: *** [out/host/common/core-tests.jar] Error 127
make: *** Deleting file `out/host/common/core-tests.jar'
make: Leaving directory `/home/chris/android/platform'

Does anyone have any suggestions on what Error 127 is, or another method I can go about building "libcore" without having to build the entire platform again?

Thanks, Chris

It says "jar: command not found"

Are you sure you have a Java SDK installed?
