Hi Oliver:

   I've seen the modularisation on native, that's great! :) But I have a
question here.
   As I work on native before, I usually build the whole native code once,
and then make seperate modules alone, e.g., luni, or nio. It was easy to
enter directory luni and force build by "make" and create a new DLL/so file.
In this way it is easy to write codes and debug. However after
modularisation nowadays, as there are envionment variables in the makefile,
which are defined in the build.xml, I have no idea but build whole native
with ant, even after changing a single line.
   So I turn to help for if there's an easy way to build single module
alone? Thanks!

It depends on whether you want to wait for what I'm doing or not :)
If you want to get the code out now, then you can temporarily put it
under native-src/win.IA32/nio and I will move it later as part of the
natives modularisation.
However, if you don't mind waiting a day or so I should be able to
submit my first patch to move the prefs natives. This ought to be enough
of an example for you to put your native code directly into
modules/nio/src/main/native.

At build time, the "copy.native.includes" target in luni/make/build.xml
is called - it copies a selection of the header files in
luni/src/main/native/include that need to be shared between modules into
the deploy/include directory. This is done with an explicit fileset in
luni/make/build.xml - if you need to have portsock.h added to the list
of shared header files, then this is the place to make that change. Just
add its filename to the list, and next time you build it will appear in
the deploy/include directory. Your nio code should include the headers
from the deploy/include dir, and *not* directly from the
luni/src/main/native/include dir.

I hope this makes more sense now - if it doesn't, please let me know. I
am in the process of writing up some documentation for the website on
the natives layout and where headers should go (and also how modules
should build against the HDK) - once that is complete it should all be a
lot clearer.

Regards,
Oliver
