It is a lot of redundancy and tediousness but not really that much work per se. The packages themselves are quite tiny. It is more time in resolving what other packages are needed. What to package next, etc. > For example I doubt NetBeans can be currently built with JDK9. The majority can and has thus far just fine. Only ran into like 2 or 3 classes in total that needed to be address for Java 9. Presently stuck on one with a LazyDocumentTable.Entry that is private now. Along those same lines may be able to help with some patches to fix issues under 9. Though can't really say I am there just yet. > The first thing I would do: set a regular Jenkins job to build on > JDK9 and fix the regular Ant build to build with JDK9. I was doing that I was having to many problems and wasting to much time. Example https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/dev-java/netbeans-platform/netbeans-platform-8.2-r11.ebuild#L113 Gentoo has python code to re-write ant build xml source/target. But that has never worked with Netbeans and its in to many locations. There is no support for --release. Thus I had to remove that stuff via sed and then use javacargs to pass in other stuff. But I ran into strange issues with ant under Portage I did not with ant directly. The whole ant + portage stuff I am no longer a fan of and looking to circumvent. Patching build.xml, fiddling with them etc is no fun. https://dev.gentoo.org/~fordfrog/distfiles/${PN:0:8}-${SLOT}-build.xml.patch.bz2 https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/dev-java/netbeans-platform/netbeans-platform-8.2-r11.ebuild#L13 > However I can't tell you want to do: De gustibus non disputandum est. > In any case, good luck! -jt Thanks, its coming along very well. Making tremendous progress. I packaged some 70+ pieces of eclipse just for lombok. This is much more rewarding as I use it like other stuff I have packaged. Lombok was an indirect dependency of spring. Which spring is like ever java library ever written used in some form or another... Just stuck on this one issue. Driving me crazy as I have overcome all others. Once past this I can get a better clue as to other stuff. But getting very few errors in message.log. Other than the annoying bundle exceptions. Why it excludes some stuff no clue. But NbBundleProcessor for sure creates files I need to build. Just not some stuff needed at runtime, text messages. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
