Thanks Jesse, I'll make changes in the project for an upcoming OpenJDK build:
bug id is 6578429.

> It seems that the javac project, as least as currently visible in the
dev.java.net SVN repo, is lacking the run and debug targets that would let you
try running the compiler on a sample file from within NetBeans 6. So I wrote
up a quick patch for this (attached). If you "Run" the project, it will try to
compile its own Main.java by default; you can pick a different command line,
or define one for many runs:

Since j2se/make/netbeans/common/shared.xml already has "javac.options" I'll
likely change the name of that to "javac.run.options".
As an aside, note that you could also set that property in one of the
properties files mentioned in j2se/make/netbeans/README.
Thanks!
