Working on Jar and Zip code using the NetBeans IDE
|
|
|
|
This note is specific to working on jar and zip; much more information about
|
|
working with this project and others is in ../README.
|
|
|
|
This project allows developers to work on the Jar and Zip in java.util.jar and
|
|
java.util.zip, as well as the jar tool itself in sun.tools.jar. The NetBeans
|
|
project supports editing, building, testing, and debugging of this code. This
|
|
is a make-based project, and involves compilation of native code. Some of
|
|
this native code is provided by the JDK community, but the base zip library is
|
|
from http://www.zlib.net.
|
|
|
|
Please note: The most recent zlib is version 1.2.3. We are providing zlib
|
|
version 1.1.3, modified to include security fixes that have been added since
|
|
that release.
|
|
|
|
Source code layout
|
|
|
|
The jar tool depends on the jar library, which in turn depends on the zip
|
|
library. This in turn depends on some native code, which in turn depends on
|
|
the zlib library:
|
|
|
|
sun.tools.jar depends on
|
|
java.util.jar, which depends on
|
|
java.util.zip, which depends on
|
|
src/share/native/java/util/zip, which depends on
|
|
src/share/native/java/util/zip/zlib-1.1.3.
|
|
|
|
The project is set up to invoke make on the zip code first. This make target
|
|
compile the native zip code, as well as the Java sources in java.util.zip.
|
|
Subsequent invocations of make build java.util.jar, and then sun.tools.jar.
|
|
|
|
Insofar as NetBeans use is concerned with Java code, most things you are used
|
|
to. You can build the project. There are several regression tests included,
|
|
run either as a group via Test Project or individually via Run File.
|
|
Debugging is also supported, try Debug File. Since the jar tool needs command
|
|
line parameters in order to do anything interesting, it is not hooked up to
|
|
Run Project in NetBeans.
