Hi Mani,
I realize this, and in fact the (now) old build system should have allow
you to build e.g. AWT separately by invoking make from make/java/awt,
make/sun/awt, and on X11 - make/sun/xawt directories.
However, the new build system does not generally support this kind of
partial builds. For any "sub"-projects. You can only invoke make for the
whole JDK in the top-level directory. This is how it is designed to
work. Note that this new build system is able to resolve dependencies
very quickly, and as a result incremental builds (i.e. when you change
just a few files) should take very small amount of time. Even building
the whole JDK for the first time takes significantly less time than with
the old build system.
Given that we're switching to the new build system real soon, and the
old build system will be deprecated and removed eventually, I strongly
recommend you to try out the new one. You may want to clone the
jdk8/build forest where it is fully implemented at the moment and play
with it.

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for responding to my post.
I'm aware of the make files available for other projects and
sub-projects from within the OpenJDK. But the reason I was requesting
help on building the Awt2d and J2se as they form part of the JDK project
and it would be handy to be able to build them separately (irrespective
of the netbeans projects) to the whole JDK project itself. Given that
the total build time for the JDK is longer than just building its
underlying components - developers would love working on separate
components in IDEs of their choice.
I'm working on wiki instructions to help with the Adopt OpenJDK
initiative which would assist adopters to build these projects via the
CLI or from withiin Eclipse.
At this stage I'm updating existing instructions to build OpenJDK and
its sub-projects in Eclipse and CLI - I have been able to build most of
the sub-projects except the two sub-projects under the /jdk/
folder.Besides moving the make files of these projects to the new build
system would also benefit future adopters to directly load them up in
their IDE and amend the underlying code and see the build results in the
console.
There is a potential for a larger number of users in our group to do
just this and more hence I'm involved in the process. Any hint or help
would be most appreciated, as I think it might just be a matter of
configuration - I did read about sustaining these build.xml files for
future use on a couple of other mailing lists.
Thanks.

Mani

Hi Mani,
Not many developers really use NetBeans when working on JDK code.
And only a few (if any) actually build it from NetBeans. Since the
main build system for JDK is makefiles-based, obviously the netbeans
projects are almost never updated when something happens to the way
the code is built. Thus the projects become outdated.
The new build system (configure/make-based, see the makefiles/
directory in JDK) is very fast. It does a very good job with
incremental builds, so I suggest to use it for your purposes.

Hi all,
I have made some progress with the below three
sub-projects, and have
successfully built jarzip. But still get new error messages
with
awt2d and
j2se.
I answered my own question about the -source 8, its basically
expecting the
images/j2sdk-image to be assigned to the respective ALT_...
variables via
the make.options property in build.properties for all three
projects.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to build swing via the
.../javax/swing/
folder
where the required make file(s) are present.
But my other queries still stand, if you can throw some
light on
them, it
would be help make progress with these builds using the new
build
system.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have furthered my pursuits with building *OpenJDK

building
the JDK sub-projects like swing, etc... but came across
issues with
building 3 different projects which I wasn't able to
build due
configuration issues. These sub-projects are located
under the
netbeans
subfolder under the .../jdk/make/ folder.
They all are getting compiled for version 8 with the
below args
(which is
leading to a build failure):
-source 8 -target 8

Where is this version configuration set for these
projects, that
I can
change either through file changes or alternative
build.properties setting
changes? My other question is why are there no make files
available for the
jdk sub-projects (i.e. *awt2d, j2se,* etc...) except
for under *
javax/swing* has make files to build this project
instead Ant
build.xml
files are available. Is it possible to hook these ant
files with
the new
build system, instead of only being able to build the
sub-projects via the
old build system (using the ALT_... variables via
make.options).
Thanks.
