Hi Anthony,
Thanks for responding to my post.
I'm aware of the make files available for other projects and sub-projects
from within the OpenJDK. But the reason I was requesting help on building
the Awt2d and J2se as they form part of the JDK project and it would be
handy to be able to build them separately (irrespective of the netbeans
projects) to the whole JDK project itself. Given that the total build time
for the JDK is longer than just building its underlying components -
developers would love working on separate components in IDEs of their
choice.
I'm working on wiki instructions to help with the Adopt OpenJDK initiative
which would assist adopters to build these projects via the CLI or from
withiin Eclipse.
At this stage I'm updating existing instructions to build OpenJDK and its
sub-projects in Eclipse and CLI - I have been able to build most of the
sub-projects except the two sub-projects under the *jdk* folder.Besides
moving the make files of these projects to the new build system would also
benefit future adopters to directly load them up in their IDE and amend the
underlying code and see the build results in the console.
There is a potential for a larger number of users in our group to do just
this and more hence I'm involved in the process. Any hint or help would be
most appreciated, as I think it might just be a matter of configuration - I
did read about sustaining these build.xml files for future use on a couple
of other mailing lists.
Thanks.
Regards,
Mani
