: The makefile comments, comment on the fact that Java sources that reside inside make/tools are in fact part of the dt.jar (ie part of the jdk, not just a tool).

However this is not that easy to fix, since the actual tool that generates the swing classes, needs these files. So instead of copying the sources out from src/share/classes to compile the tool, or linking to the classes in the boot jdk dt.jar, they are simply stored in make/tools. Something for future generations to ponder. The comments should be updated to reflect the new positions of the source files inside the tools directory. //Fredrik Just an FYI that we will eventually need to get rid of dt.jar, see:
