Building the "langtools" workspace.
|
|
|
|
The "langtools" workspace can be built from the command line with Ant.
|
|
The build file is make/build.xml, in conjunction with make/build.properties.
|
|
Some additional user-specific properties files are also read, to allow
|
|
you to customize selected properties as needed.
|
|
|
|
Individual tools within the workspace can also be built and worked on
|
|
with NetBeans, using the projects in the make/netbeans directory.
|
|
|
|
The "langtools" workspace can also be built from the command line with
|
|
GNU Make, although the Makefile is simply a wrapper around the Ant
|
|
build file. This is provided for systems (such as the full OpenJDK build)
|
|
that expect to be able to build this workspace with GNU Make.
|
|
|
|
System Requirements:
|
|
Ant: version 1.6.5 or later
|
|
NetBeans: version 5.0 or later (optional)
|
|
JDK: currently version 1.5.0, although 1.6.0 is recommended
|
|
OS: any system supporting the above tools
|
|

Testing the "langtools" workspace.
|
|
|
|
The primary set of tests for the compiler is the compiler TCK. This
|
|
tests that the compiler performs according to the specifications in
|
|
JLS and JVMS.
|
|
|
|
In addition, there is a substantial collection of regression and unit
|
|
tests for all the tools in the maain langtools test/ directory.
|
|
|
|
Finally, there is a small set of tests to do basic validation of a build
|
|
of the langtools workspace for use by JDK. These tests check the contents
|
|
of the dist/ directory generated by the build, and verify that the various
|
|
tools can do basic "Hello World"-style processing. These tests should be
|
|
run by jtreg, with the -jdk option set a version of JDK capable of running
|
|
the default output of the javac compiler in this workspace. Currently,
|
|
this means JDK 6 or better.
