| 3 | This Swing NetBeans project allows a developer interested in making changes to
|
|---|
| 4 | and/or fixing bugs in swing to modify, build, run and test swing in a
|
|---|
| 5 | standalone manner as well as generating the javadoc for the swing classes.

| 12 | WORKING WITH SWING
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | Swing doesn't contain native code; it's pure java. You don't need to
|
|---|
| 15 | have all the Java SE sources to work on Swing but just the following subset:
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | make/netbeans/
|
|---|
| 18 | javax/swing/
|
|---|
| 19 | com/sun/swing/
|
|---|
| 20 | com/sun/java/swing/
|
|---|
| 21 | sun/swing/
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | The set of actions supported by this project are:
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | * Build Project:
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | - Compiles Swing's source files and puts the class files under
|
|---|
| 28 | build/${platform}-${arch}/classes.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | - Generates swing.jar file under dist/lib/swing.jar
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | This new jar file could be used to patch an existing JDK installation
|
|---|
| 33 | by using -Xbootclasspath/p:$MYSRC/dist/lib/swing.jar
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | * Generate Javadoc for Project
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | - Generates the javadoc for the Swing source files,
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | - The javadoc is generated under build/${platform}-${arch}/javadoc/swing.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | * Run Project
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | - Builds and runs the SampleTree demo.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | * Debug Project
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | - Builds and then runs the debugger on the SampleTree demo.
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | * Clean Project
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | - Cleans the files created by this project under build, dist, and demo.
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | IMPORTANT NOTE
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | Please make sure to follow carefully the governance rules documented at
|
|---|
| 56 | http://openjdk.dev.java.net/
|

| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | KNOWN ISSUES
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | When debugging the project, breakpoints set in SampleTree's code will be
|
|---|
| 61 | stopped at, but the editor display will not update correctly. Breakpoints
|
|---|
| 62 | outside of the constructor work as expected.
