I don't know why we build xawt on OS X - at least by default. We don't use X11 for UI in our JDK on Mac and I'm 99% sure its not getting tested. Building the XAWT toolkit on OS X perhaps should be an optional selection

Yes, we plan to purge XAWT from OS X in JDK8.

Thanks,

Hi Kelly, This is just fyi. I just upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion, and tried to build JDK8 on it. Obviously, Apple removed all the X11 stuff from XCode by default and initially it failed somewhere building AWT. X11 stuff has been installed when I ran some X11 app (like Java runtime, Apple now installs a stub X11 server which just pops up a message box that urges the user to install 3rd party X11 stuff - XQuarz) There is another hiccup with it. That is, the default include search path for the C compiler. Now that the X11 stuff is not included in Mountain Lion, /usr/include/X11 is no longer searched. I had to set it with "CPATH" environment variable. Maybe this is something that JDK build script could help. Naoto
