How to build kulla

Wed Jul 1 05:34:05 UTC 2015

HI Mani,

We aren’t there yet.  

Getting a new component into the JDK dev forest is a process with many steps.  We are in the middle of the first step, API review.  The plan is to be in next month.

As in the current Kulla repo, the sources now are and will be in langtools/src/jdk.jshell and the tests in langtools/test/jdk/jshell which leaves scarce else to stay in langtools/repl — my assumption is that that directory will go away.

Thanks,
Robert

Or are you also saying that the make clean images creates a .jar file in the build folder alongside the images folder (JDK and JRE).

The script compile.sh should provide good info about which files are needed, but it does so from the source perspective, I'd think you would just want to grab "make images" class files and stuff 'em in a JAR.  If that doesn't fall in place for you, I could take a look tomorrow.  Let us know how we can help.

Jline is now integrated into the jdk side of the                                                           Kulla repo.  This version of jline has been made more platform independent (no longer requiring the external native libraries).  JShell now uses this.
