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.
Not quite. The hotspot build system was not rewritten to require the
configure-based top-level build, but it was modified to be aware of, and
work with, a configure-based top-level build. A lot of hotspot
developers only build hotspot, not the full JDK.
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?
Updates to those windows specific parts of the hotspot build have taken
place as problems are detected. If there is something specific that is
currently an issue then a bug needs to be filed against hotspot->build.
The hotspot team generally handles this not the "build team".

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:
