Compiler build Question

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Tamar,

I'm not sure what you mean by "the compiler project 'javac'". The  
sources for javac are in the "compiler"
project in the langtools repository.

It seems there may be problems using the standard projects with  
NetBeans 6.5.  You might also want to try
NB 6.1.  The problem is how well NetBeans handles (or doesn't handle)  
overlapping sources in sibling
projects, which is a characteristic of the langtools projects, and of  
the jdk projects as well, I believe.
