This issue has been annoying me for some time, I finally got frustrated enough to fix it.
Synopsis: Running make when a build has already completed will fail when it tries to symlink libjli.dylib, then (if that's fixed by using "ln -sf") when it tries to copy the sdk image to j2sdk-server-bundle. This issue has been around a while, likely just an oversight in rev 5842 which added the j2sdk-server-bundle target. The fix is simple, blow away the existing j2sdk-server-bundle directory as it already does with the other two bundles. Just filed so bugs.sun.com entry is not yet available, but when it is: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8022734 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ddehaven/8022734/jdk.0/ Crusty old build system patch, does not affect 8. Tested against 7u40 and 7u-dev, submitting JPRT build-only run to test this and a couple other build system patches. If I don't respond with results we can assume it's fine. Will need a Committer to push to 7u-dev for me, I think it's probably too late for 7u40. -DrD-
