RFR: JDK-8136782: Introduce a build/configure wrapper (original) (raw)

Hello,

This patch adds support for a new Oracle internal tool that will help us manage build configurations. I doubt it could be of any use to outside users, except perhaps to give a bit of insight into what versions of certain dependencies we use internally, as those will be specified in the jab-profiles.js configuration file.

In addition to the JAB configuration files added here, I've also added a new configure option --with-default-make-target with which you can change the default make target for a configuration. A bug is fixed in the configure wrapper script where it's currently not propagating the return value of configure. Finally a new make command line variable is added, CONF_NAME, which works like CONF, except it only matches exact configuration names.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8136782 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/8136782/webrev.top.01/
