Running and building with NetBeans: a plea for help

[Jan Lahoda]

I admit the description is very concise. It should be possible to open 
modules as project, e.g. File/Open Project, select 
${jdkhome}/src/java.base - that should open the java.base module 
(ideally the "configure" has already been run). Tests from test/jdk are 
under the java.base project in the UI (test/langtools tests are placed 
under java.compiler project in the UI). Building should work using Build 
(/Clean and Build) actions (from Run menu) - these should run the make 
to do the build.

For tests, unfortunately currently only a single test can be 
run/debugged, after opening it (I usually use the Navigate/Go to File... 
dialog to find it, but it should be possible to browse to it in the 
Projects, or use File/Open File...)
