Thanks for the info.
If the new image is not used, does that mean there can be some kind of
dependency check in Makefiles for demo/sample? Currently these two are
always rebuilt entitely and occupies most of the time in doing an
increment jdk build.
Thanks

Hi Kelly
I noticed that in jdk build, demo and sample are before launchers. In
a jdk-only build, JDK_IMPORT_PATH's javac is used. Otherwise,
BOOTDIR's javac using javac.jar built from langtools is used. Why not
build launchers first and use the brand new javac to compile demo/sample?
The goal was to try and completely build a jdk image without using that
same image as part of the build process.
That was why I pushed the launcher creations to the very end.
It allows for cross compilation builds, where we can't necessarily run
the jdk image being built.
Granted, we obviously still need to make more adjustments for cross
compile builds to work really well.
