Running and building with NetBeans: a plea for help

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Andrew,

It looks like you have found fortune on another path and that's good.

The ant task in make/jdk/netbeans/common/shared.xml is passing the 
jtreg.tests incorrectly to jtreg.
JTreg expects the tests to be command line arguments but is passed using 
an ant property.

After the patch below, I had to define/override root, build.dir  to make 
it work; something like:

    ROOT=/scratch/open
    ant  -Djtreg.tests=$ROOT/test/jdk/java/time/
    -Dbuild.dir=$ROOT/build/linux-x64/jdk/  \
    -Droot=$ROOT -debug -verbose -f $ROOT/make/jdk/netbeans/j2se jtreg


Alternatively you can supply the tests in the jtreg.options property 
that is passed as command line args.

(There is lots of magic in the project files that I did not try to 
figure out; not being a Netbeans person)

Good luck,  Roger
