Early in jdk8 development it used the same build system as jdk7. A new build system was
developed and eventually replaced the "old" build system. The removal in this
changeset removed the obsolete legacy build system. There are no plans to backport the
new build system to java 7.
Just to confirm my understanding, when Magnus or yourself speak about the old
system as the jdk7 one, you are talking about the build of the subdirectory
jdk8/jdk because the jdk8/hotspot is the same as in jdk7.
By the way, I am wondering in the "new" system how you are planning the support
the create.bat and the generation of the jcm.vxproj by ProjectCreator.
VisualStudio C++ is a mandatory tool for testing, understanding and debugging
hotspot. So what about the "old" hotspot build under jdk8?

the jdk8 build system, but what is the old one?

So, finally it has happened. The old build system is now removed. The patch was
just submitted to the tl forest, from where it will move to master in a few
days.
If you have personal scripts that are using hard-coded makefile references, you
might need to update them.
Thanks to everyone who helped this major project become reality: Fredrik, Erik,
