<Swing Dev> Compilation problems

[Pavel Porvatov]

Hi Florian,

I don't know info about the make/netbeans/swing project. But as I 
understand you have an old build of jdk and it's the main problem.
Sometimes (when there are a lot of changes in repository) you have to 
rebuild WHOLE jdk (or get a fresh build).

Here are some ideas:
1. Build schedule is here:
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/builds/
So, a fresh build will be available at 2008/09/11.

2. You can try to modify your netbeans project for rebuild whole jdk

3. You can try to rebuild jdk without netbeans project. Info about this 
process is available in the make/README-builds.html file.

Regards, Pavel.
