> Copies valuetype classes for each module into corresponding "/META-INF/preview/..." sub-directories to be pulled into jimage files and processed by the new preview mode handling code.
>
> There might be a better way to do this in terms of Makefile semantics, but this seems to work well enough and doesn't prevent the value-class JAR files being generated for patching (which is still how everyone will get value classes until the rest of the work is plumbed in).
>
> To enable the new preview mode work, set the "DISABLE_PREVIEW_PATCHING" system property to "true".
>
> This should be review against https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/pull/1621.
David Beaumont has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains five commits:
- Copy value classes into preview directories for inclusion in jimage
- Restoring lost changes and updating some comments.
- add system property guard to preview mode
- jimage writer changes to support preview mode.
* Remove TODOs now jimage version is bumped
* jimage writer changes to support preview mode.
- Manually deleting ImageReaderFactory (it returned somehow)
