Tools for HotSpot source browsing

[Ivan Krylov]

And if that navigation does not work for any reason - Netbeans has a 
wizard to build a (C++) project out of a makefile.
SO if you can build hotspot in a command line using make - you can build 
it inside Netbeans and Netbeans will pick up all dependencies, call 
graphs, etc.
