Project Proposal: Build Infrastructure Changes
In accordance with the OpenJDK guidelines for projects [1], I hereby
propose the OpenJDK Project "Build Infrastructure Changes".
This Project will be used for developing major changes to the JDKbuildprocess.
A list of some of the goals include:
* Drastically improving the turnaround on full builds
* Provide a reliable way for incremental builds to work
* Simplify the makefiles drastically avoiding unnecessary nested makes
* Allow for parallel building with make -j
* Allow for 32bit builds to happen on 64bit systems
* Allow for use of more portable build tools (compilers etc.) where possible
Can I add support for alternative JVM's ?
This work will be done in a separate set of repositories.
I propose this project be sponsored by the Build Group [2] and that I
be the initial moderator of the project.
