Hi Mani,

nb-projects-dev at openjdk.java.net should be the right place, but there is "little" trafic. This keeps me wondering too since years, as NetBeans is an Oracle Product. It's a mystery why it seems so hard to have NetBeans working for JDK developement workflow.

So I think it's OK to additionally put your question here in core-libs.

Hi,

I have been recommended to post my below query to your mailing list, if it is the right place to post. If not could you recommend who would be best placed to answer the below questions. I couldn't find an appropriate mailing list for 'jarzip' (as it is part of langtools) - any suggestions? It would be great if you could answer my query about it too. Thanks.

Hi all,

I have made some progress with the below three sub-projects, and have successfully built jarzip. But still get new error messages with awt2d and j2se. I answered my own question about the -source 8, its basically expecting the images/j2sdk-image to be assigned to the respective ALT... variables via the make.options property in build.properties for all three projects. Unfortunately I wasn't able to build swing via the .../javax/swing/ folder where the required make file(s) are present. But my other queries still stand, if you can throw some light on them, it would be help make progress with these builds using the new build system. Thanks.

the JDK sub-projects like swing, etc... but came across issues with building 3 different projects which I wasn't able to build due configuration issues. These sub-projects are located under the netbeans subfolder under the .../jdk/make/ folder. They all are getting compiled for version 8 with the below args (which is leading to a build failure): -source 8 -target 8 jdk/awt2d https://github.com/**neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/blob/master/ EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/**Logs/jdk/awt2d/awt2dAntBuild.**log<https://github.com/neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/blob/master/EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/Logs/jdk/awt2d/awt2dAntBuild.log> jdk/j2se https://github.com/**neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/blob/master/ EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/**Logs/jdk/j2se/j2seAntBuild.log<https://github.com/neomatrix369/BuildHelpers/blob/master/EclipseProjectsForOpenJDK/Logs/jdk/j2se/j2seAntBuild.log> jdk/jarzip

My other question is why are there no make files available for the jdk sub-projects (i.e. awt2d, j2se, etc...) except for under * javax/swing* has make files to build this project instead Ant build.xml files are available. Is it possible to hook these ant files with the new build system, instead of only being able to build the sub-projects via the old build system (using the ALT... variables via make.options). Thanks.
