Review request (M): Updates to Visual Studio project creation and development launcher

[Staffan Larsen]

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/7006354/webrev.00/

 

This update makes it easier to work with Visual Studio projects. 

 

After this update you can create a VS project by:

1)      Run "vsvars32.cmd"

2)      Run "make\windows\create.bat <path to JDK to use for running against>"

>From inside Visual Studio you can open the generated vsbuild\jvm.vcproj. Edit the properties to set the debugging command to "$(TargetDir)\hotspot.exe". Compile and run/debug from inside VS. 

 

Limitations: 

.         Changes have only been tested on VS2008 and VS2010. 

.         The script do not generate VS2010 project, but the conversion wizard in VS2010 can read the generated VS2008 project file.

.         Only 32-bit targets work.

 

This change includes the proposed patch in CR7002870.

 

Thanks,

/Staffan
