Hi,

For InteliJ, the /common/bin/idea.sh will generate a project for all modules.

For Netbeans, there are a series of projects in /jdk/make/netbeans.

fyi, Roger

Sorry for what must seem like a newbie question...

I've done almost all of my work on HotSpot, and have very little experience trying to use an IDE to work on the Java library. Eclipse is fine when working on libraries outdie the JDK itself, but seems to want to look inside src.zip for its sources when debugging. It would be really nice to be able to see (and edit) the real Java source files in jdk/java.base/. I suppose there must be some way to create a Project for an IDE, so that debugging the standard library is easy. Is there some advice around somewhere? What do people do? Thanks,
