+> **Note:** The above `make` command will build the `images` target, which is a proper release build of OpenJDK. It is **essential** that you use this target if you are planning on evaluating your build (e.g. measuring performance, gathering minimum heap values, etc). However, if you are simply developing and building incremental changes often, you may want to use the [`default` target or "exploded image"](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u/blob/master/doc/building.md#Running-make), which has a marginally shorter build time. However, be wary, as the exploded image is the (roughly) minimal set of outputs required to run the built JDK and is not guaranteed to run all benchmarks. It may have bloated minimum heap values as well.
