Gerard, we already have ./jdk/make/netbeans, ./langtools/make/netbeans and I think it's a good pattern to follow. You can create hotspot/make/xcode and don't change the makefile.
Also with upcoming switch to full forest build you may consider to create ide folder at top level and move per ws projects to it. Nevertheless, if you decide to go ahead with makefile changes, it requires some find machinery. Something like $(FIND) -L $(HOTSPOT_TOPDIR) -name ".hg" -prune -o \( -name "ide" -a -type "d" \) -prune -o -print current patch filter out all files and directories containing char sequence "ide" e.g. "side", "accidental" etc. -Dmitry On 2014-09-04 20:45, Gerard Ziemski wrote: > hi all, > > Please review a very small fix that makes hotspot build ignore "ide" > folder, which is where local users can store their own favorite IDE > projects. > > For those interested, I have an Xcode project for JDK8 and JDK9 that I > am personally actively supporting and using, which is hosted at > https://orahub.oraclecorp.com/gerard.ziemski/xcode that is meant to be > put in "jdk/hotspot/ide" folder. > > > Summary of fix: > > Exclude "ide" folder from the makefile that searches for hotspot src > files, or otherwise make bails out complaining that it does not know how > to handle Xcode project files. > > > Testing: > > Passes local build on Mac OS X > > > References: > > bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033946 > > webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gziemski/8033946_rev0/ > > > Thank you! > > -- Dmitry Samersoff Oracle Java development team, Saint Petersburg, Russia * I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the sources.
