Fwd: OpenJDK builds: Ant build issues with jdk (netbeans) sub-projects - awt2d, j2se and jarzip

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi Mani,

nb-projects-dev at openjdk.java.net should be the right place, but there is "little" trafic.
This keeps me wondering too since years, as NetBeans is an Oracle Product. It's a mystery why it 
seems so hard to have NetBeans working for JDK developement workflow.

So I think it's OK to additionally put your question here in core-libs.
