Dave,
I've reposted your reply to the nbusers message I posted.
I was using NB 5.5.1. The page at
http://nb-openjdk.netbeans.org/get-and-build.html
doesn't mention that. It links to NB6M9 (not M10), but if you already
have NB installed you're not going to follow that link.
I'll see about having the get-and-build page updated to explicitly
mention that NB6 is required.
I've now installed M10, and the projects are visible.
I wrote and tested (in another package space) an implementation of RFE
6410729 Add BitSet.previousClearBit, previousSetBit and posted the
results in the JDK-collaboration/dev forum on 2007-05-06, but have had
no responses. I think I must be missing something in the procedure for
handling these things. Advice on this would be appreciated.
The "contribute" page at
http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/
should steer you in the right direction. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
might be the right list.
I seem to have lost the description of setting up personal NetBeans
projects within JDK7. I recall a discussion of cloning and modifying one
of the existing projects when setting up a Java-only project, and the
example used was Collections. That's exactly what I need; in fact, a
subset of Collections. Can you point me in the right direction for doing
this?
See
j2se/make/netbeans/README
in the openjdk source bundle.
Dave,
Thanks for the input. I have followed the instructions in
j2se/make/netbeans/README an created a collections project. Note that
the collections/build.properties file included:
includes=\
java/util/, \
excludes=\
java/util/Calendar.java,\
java/util/jar/,\
java/util/logging/,\
java/util/prefs/,\
java/util/regex/,\
java/util/spi/,\
java/util/zip/,\
**/*-XLocales.java
as per the README. However, the build failed, trying to compile
*-XLocale.java files.
I modified the "includes" to:
includes=\
java/util/
(i.e. I removed the trailing ", \") and the build proceeded.
Thanks for pointing that out; I'll fix it.
Before getting to that point, and thinking I might need to do a prebuild
of j2se, I tried that from a terminal. At the moment, that build is not
working because, in spite of what the docs say, the build requires not
only the openmotif header files, but the libs as well. The openmotif
libs I have installed are too recent, so it looks as though I will have
to build a set an install them in a non-standard place if I need to
build the jdk. Haven't sorted that one out yet.
The motif requirements are different for different OSs; cf the Ubuntu 6.06 v.
7.04 notes; in particular that the latter does have motif dependencies (though
I'm not sure this will resolve your problem without knowing more about your
build environment/platform). I just checked my kubuntu 6.10 box, and seem to
have headers+libs; YMMV.
Dave
Thanks
