Assuming you're building 9+ then when you change libjvm.so the module
needs to be rebuilt etc.
Or you can work from the exploded build the contents of e.g.
build/linux-x64-debug/jdk/
though you still need a full build to prime that. But after that "make
hotspot" should suffice. (Erik correct me if I'm wrong here please.)
This is correct. Using the exploded image as described is the shortcut
we have. The actual images are always built using jmod/jlink and yes,
that requires quite a bit of extra build time.
If you are in JDK 8, you need to run "make jdk" to get the exploded
image updated with the new libjvm.so.
