Well, I guess I would like the closed rules be so simple that the default add/override functionality in the configure script is enough. > With IcedTea, most of the changes are build changes for obvious > reasons, so nearly every commit was regenerating configure :-) The goal for the new build system must be, that for normal OpenJDK development, there should rarely be any need to regenerate configure. The configure script and the makefiles should deal with any normal change/addition/removal of source code and new modules. Configure should only change to manage new platforms, new compilers etc. //Fredrik
