Hi folks,
The OpenJDK Modules project which was announced today
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/modules/
includes a NetBeans project in this directory:
make/netbeans/modules
You don't need to build the entire sourcebase in order to use the project,
just open the project in NetBeans and Build. The project will compile many
more files than are actually new or changed in the Modules project: it
compiles several entire packages that contain changed files. For example, the
project compiles java.lang even though for Modules-purposes, only a couple
files (such as ClassLoader.java) have changed.
One known issue is that when testing, BasicLauncherTests will fail: this
project does not build the "java" binary, and the test runs the "java" binary
from your ${bootstrap.jdk}, which (of course) doesn't support -module,
-repository, and other options supported by the modules-modified launcher.
Enjoy!
Dave
