Hi Alan,

I've opened the JConsole project from JDK7 b51 sources and ran into some errors. See attachment. Can you give me some hints? When I set .openjdk\build.properties to: bootstrap.jdk=C:/Programme/Java/jdk1.7.0 the compile warning disappears, but the errors in editor remain. I think, JConsole project would be a good "template" to create my own "nio-charset" project. Additionally, I don't see how to connect to the Mercurial repository. There is no "Mercurial" menu item on projects node, although there are plenty .hg* files in the project.. From Subversion I'm used to have "Subversion" menu item automatically if the .svn folders are present in project. -Ulf Ulf - I'm not very familiar with the NB projects that are in the repository but if you send mail to nb-projects-dev at openjdk.java.net then I'm sure that Daniel Fuchs or others will be able to help you get this running. As there is some code generation during the build then it may be challenging to setup as a standalone project. AFAIK, the mercurial plugin is part of the base IDE (Versioning menu -> Mercurial). -Alan.

Thanks Alan. I hesitated to post to nb-projects-dev at openjdk.java.net, because there was no traffic since August 2008. But I'll give it a try.

The error annotations in NetBeans for JConsole project, I guess, are result of a NB bug, because the build runs without error.

The hg support from NetBeans didn't work, because the local .hg repository wasn't existent, so I created it by "Create Repository". After this, I think, I should commit the WC into it, but I hesitate, because I don't want to have an additional 250 MB copy of the whole jdk on my harddisk. I have to be economic with diskspace. I would be happy, if there would be a way, only to push the parts in the repository which I'm working on. Do you have some hint, how to solve this problem? Does it work, if I only commit the folder, which I'm working on? I also did a clone of http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7. This clone only contained some few make files, so I don't know what to do with it.
