I see the following in ide//editor/build.xml:
<project name="ide/editor" default="build" basedir=".">
<import file="../../nbbuild/templates/projectized.xml"/>
</project>
and I see the following in platform/o.n.bootstrap/build.xml:
<project name="platform/o.n.bootstrap" default="build" basedir=".">
<import file="../../nbbuild/templates/projectized.xml"/>
<target name="compile"
depends="check-main-status,projectized-common.compile,rebuild-main"/>
<target name="check-main-status">
<uptodate property="main.up.to.date"
srcfile="${src.dir}/org/netbeans/Main.java"
targetfile="${build.classes.dir}/org/netbeans/Main.class"/>
</target>
<target name="rebuild-main" unless="main.up.to.date">
<mkdir dir="${build.classes.dir}"/>
<delete file="${build.classes.dir}/org/netbeans/Main.class"/>
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.classes.dir}"
debug="${build.compiler.debug}" debuglevel="${build.compiler.debuglevel}"
deprecation="${build.compiler.deprecation}"
optimize="${build.compiler.optimize}" source="1.8" target="1.8"
includeantruntime="false">
<classpath refid="cp"/>
<include name="org/netbeans/Main.java"/>
<compilerarg line="${javac.compilerargs}"/>
</javac>
</target>
</project>
Is this what you are referring to?
And if so, why the difference as I'm trying to understand this.
