Omkar,
I suggest you pull a copy of the langtools repository, and use the
NetBeans project in langtools/make/netbeans/langtools.
NetBeans may show a compile-time error for some imports of API which is
new to JDK 7. The errors should go away if you run NetBeans using JDK
7, but equally, the errors can be ignored for the most part, because
they are in an "optional" part of javac. The Ant file in
langtools/make/build.xml knows how to deal with these files. There are
three important parameters that you need to consider passing to ant to
build langtools by itself,
boot.java.home This copy of JDK will be used to build langtools.
It is typically JDK 6.
target.java.home (optional) If you use Ant targets that will
run javac, this is the copy of JDK that will be used. It must be JDK 7.
import.jdk (optional) This will be used to compile those files
that depend on JDK 7 API. It should either point to a copy of JDK 7, or
it may point to a jdk/ repository containing the main JDK source code.

Hello
I am trying to setup a development environment for langtools project
in openjdk7.
I am new to netbeans. I am trying to build the langtools project in
Netbeans with manually copied sources. I am getting compile error in
the import statement of "java.nio.File.Attributes" & some other
packages in some classes. I suspect that I am missing some other
projects which are needed by langtools in build path. How do I know
which projects contain these classes? Is there a simpler way of
setting a development environment with openjdk7 (specifically
langtools/javac project) on Netbeans on windows?
Any help appreciated!
