It would be even better, perhaps in a subsequent update, if make/gendata/Gendata-jdk.compiler.gmk did not have to be updated for each release ... i.e. by changing A to B, and soon to C etc. The version letter can surely be inferred by the system. True. Updated webrevs: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8202387/code.01/ (code changes, including update to Makefiles to automatically infer the current JDK version) http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8202387/data.01/ (historical data for JDK 10, similar patches will be needed for each new JDK version) How does this look? Thanks, Jan

To simplify adding new platforms, the CreateSymbols tool is updated to support incrementally adding platform support. So now it is possible to run command like: /bin/java build.tools.symbolgenerator.CreateSymbols build-description-incremental symbols include.list to add historical data for JDK 10. In the future it might even be possible to use the source launcher so that one would not need to compile the tool before use. The webrevs are split into two: -updating the CreateSymbols tool, and adding a test that verifies that "--release " works (as suggested): http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8202387/code.00/ -actually adding the data for JDK 10, and adding --release 11: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8202387/data.00/ How does this look? Thanks, Jan
