Re: Netbeans (OpenJdk Native project) on Windows - how to set up source directories

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi Thomas,

if I found something which didn't work, my "trick" was to file a bug/RFE 
about the problem and annonce it in the mailing list. Often the bug was 
fixed quickly, or a workaround was found.
Have fun with NetCAT, the team is really likeable and congenial.
Are you a german speaker than me?

    Hi Thomas,

    this list is very quiet.

    I suggest to join the NetCAT project [1]. As a side effect you
    should get a lot of help from the comunitiy members. I too would
    appreciate, that developing JDK source on NetBeans would be more
    simple.

        Hi all,

        I am attempting to use Netbeans on Windows. I work with the
        common/nb_native project (currently from jdk10/hs). I worked
        with CDS Eclipse before, and this is my first attempt to use
        Netbeans.

        Code assistance works well enough for shared coding out of the
        box to do some serious editing even without tweaking anything,
        which is nice.

        I first use the Mac64 configuration, now I try to add a real
        Windows configuration.

        I do not attempt to build from within Netbeans. I have the
        OpenJDK windows build working in cygwin, and that is good
        enough for me. I only need an editor with good C++ refactoring.

        So I attempt to do the same I would do in CDS:

        1) define which sources are to be parsed (shared, os/windows,
        os_cpu/windows_x86...)
        2) Set include paths and Preprocessor definitions.

        Point (2) is not complicated, but Point (1) has me stumped. In
        Eclipse, I can set up source directories the same way I would
        set up include paths, but I cannot find the setting in Netbeans.

        I see that different configurations do include or exclude
        their specific source folder. Like, on Mac64 configuration,
        os/bsd and os/posix are black, the rest is greyed out. But how
        is this done? Where do I define which source folders are to be
        parsed for which configuration?

        Thanks a lot!

        Thomas
