Hello, I've had an issue where I've had a custom extension to CompileJavaModules.gmk with the variable java.base_COPY set to files that I wanted to be copied across but its value was overwritten by CompileJavaModules.gmk. I would like to propose changes that would allow a custom extensions to update variables listed in CompileJavaModules.gmk. This issue is similar to bug JDK-8064372 (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8064372) but affects all the other variables such as: java.activation_SETUP java.base_ADD_JAVAC_FLAGS java.base_COPY java.base_CLEAN etc The fix is also similar, changing := to += allowing the custom extension to append to the variable if already set and create it if its not. I would appreciate any feedback and help on what the next steps would be.
