Jan,
What is your current recommended technique to use NetBeans to
build/edit/test OpenJDK for normal OpenJDK library developers?
After many versions of Netbeans, my current setup is to:
1. Do an external "exploded" build
2. Run Netbeans, open the src/java.base module project and any other
modules needed.
3a. For OpenJDK test files under test/jdk: Open the java.base test dirs
for the JTREG tests I need. Then run "Debug Test File" to invoke JTREG
3b. For tests not in test/jdk (external to repo):
1. Add a Java platform for the exploded-build
2. Create a project, assign the platform
3. Create standard Debug project.
4. For incremental builds, edit source file, build from the command
line something like:
% make JDK_FILTER=java/security java.base-java-only
Is there another way of working I'm missing?
Things have been really solid for me lately (OpenJDK/JTREG plugins not
needed), thanks for all your hard work on this.
Cheers,
Brad

I am not sure if anyone is still using make/jdk/netbeans. Apache
NetBeans does not (should not) need these config files, it supports
OpenJDK modules out of the box (with some tweaks/dependencies on
make/langtools/** to speed up langtools build).
As Maurizio, there may be some need to move the "fast" langtools build
more carefully. I'll try to take a look later, unless some else wants
to. Although, a little independently, I wonder somewhat if there's an
opportunity to further speed up the ordinary make build in incremental
environment to reduce the need for a "fast" langtools build. E.g. by
enhancing the current Depend javac plugin, and possibly optionally
disabling the interim langtools build. This could improve incremental
build behavior for other modules (like java.base or java.desktop) as well.

The IDE support in OpenJDK unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired.
There have been a garden variety of attempt to support a specific IDE
for a specific part of the code base, cluttered all over the code base.
This patch is a first attempt go get one ring, eh..., structure, to
rule them all.
I have moved all IDE project creators into the following structure:
make/ide/<ide>/<part of the code>
where <part of the code> is one of currently "hotspot", "langtools" or
"jdk", and <ide> is one of "vscode", "idea", "netbeans" or
"vistualstudio".
This will not magically improve IDE support, but will at least make it
clearer what we have and what we are missing.
Ownership of the IDE support is notoriously vague. I've cc:ed a bunch
of people who has shown interest and/or submitted fixes to some of the
IDE projects according to the hg history. I'd appreciate it if anyone
who is interested in a particular case for IDE support can verify that
it still works. I've tried my best to make sure all targets can run
without errors, but I cannot verify that the IDE environment
themselves are correct.
If you know about an IDE project that is no longer relevant, and
should be removed instead of shuffled around, please let me know!
