My preferred solution would be to fold in the repos that aren't
upstream projects into jdk and just have them compile with the rest
there. I much like the idea of reducing the number of repos. If that
isn't possible, we can just add those source directories to the main
javac invocation in jdk too.
I think the repo structure does need to be re-examined. While I don't
think we want a repository per module, I do think we should at least
consider the implication of having the code organized by modules. Also
one of the benefits of the ongoing efforts to remove dependencies from
the "core" on other areas is that it opens up the possibility of other
structures (I've heard Jon suggest a "core" repository for the core
language and runtime for example).
In any case, I think a first step is to move the build of the jaxws
repository to later in the build. It's an upstream project and nothing
in the JDK should have any dependencies on the code in that repository.
Note to self: test moving JAX-WS/JAXB/SAAJ/JAF from rt.jar to the
extensions directory and see what comes out of the woodwork.
I'm not sure what to say about the corba repository. There is sad
history and what we have in OpenJDK is essentially a fork of the CORBA
code that is in Glassfish. There have been suggestions over the years to
bring the code together but I don't know whether this is possible now
(or even it is worth it).
