Hi, I've had various troubles to configure my openSuSE 10.3 to compile openJDK and am still not sure if I set everything correctly. The build ended in an OutOfMemoryError. :-(
Fortunatly I was able to hack the make/netbeans/swing to compile also the sun/awt packages (with the new Java SE 7 version it worked). I then was able to pack the sun/awt package into a jar. Then I hacked the make/netbeans/common/shared.xml to reference that jar when compiling. It works, but as I think you agree, it is less than optimal. It seems it takes quite some time untill the changes in jdk7/swing/jdk repository can be integrated to the main repository. Since Swing is a 100% Java project with no native part, I think it should be possible for Swing developers to use the simplified build at make/netbeans/swing to just build the Swing Java classes. Thus I suggest to build bootstrap jdks from the jdk7/swing/jdk repository and make these binaries available to the Swing developers. What do you think? -Florian Am Montag, 8.
