Issue with Jdk-9 build with boot_jdk as JDK-9

[Bhanu Gopularam]

Hi,

 

I am trying to build JDK-9 from dev repo with JDk-9 as BOOT_JDK. I am facing some issues. 

 

I have created JDK image with latest jdk-9-dev codebase from hg repo tagged as jdk9-b88. I am using this jdk-image as BOOT_JDK for creating JDK-9 build once again. The JDK-9 build is failing while locating a directory, the modules directory is searched in jdk/lib/* instead of jdk/*.

 

I would like to know if it is possible to build JDK-9 using JDK-9 as BOOT_JDK ? I came across few JBS bugs reporting issues with JDK-9 builds but I didn't see any mention about version of BOOT_JDK supported for building JDK-9. Please let me know if this is supported way to build JDK image.  

 

Thanks,

Bhanu
