So if I do a "make hotspot" it replaces the compiled Hotspot binary in the exploded build image?
The reason I ask is that this is what I tried, and it didn’t appear to show up in the list of "PrintFlagsFinal" output.

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. /Erik
