| 1 | Building the "langtools" workspace.
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | The "langtools" workspace can be built from the command line with Ant.
|
|---|
| 4 | The build file is make/build.xml, in conjunction with make/build.properties.
|
|---|
| 5 | Some additional user-specific properties files are also read, to allow
|
|---|
| 6 | you to customize selected properties as needed.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | Individual tools within the workspace can also be built and worked on
|
|---|
| 9 | with NetBeans, using the projects in the make/netbeans directory.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | The "langtools" workspace can also be built from the command line with
|
|---|
| 12 | GNU Make, although the Makefile is simply a wrapper around the Ant
|
|---|
| 13 | build file. This is provided for systems (such as the full OpenJDK build)
|
|---|
| 14 | that expect to be able to build this workspace with GNU Make.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | System Requirements:
|
|---|
| 17 | Ant: version 1.6.5 or later
|
|---|
| 18 | NetBeans: version 6.5 or later (optional)
|
|---|
| 19 | JDK: currently version 1.5.0, although 1.6.0 is recommended
|
|---|
| 20 | OS: any system supporting the above tools
|
|---|
| 21 |

| 28 | Testing the "langtools" workspace.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | The primary set of tests for the compiler is the compiler TCK. This
|
|---|
| 31 | tests that the compiler performs according to the specifications in
|
|---|
| 32 | JLS and JVMS.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | In addition, there is a substantial collection of regression and unit
|
|---|
| 35 | tests for all the tools in the maain langtools test/ directory.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Finally, there is a small set of tests to do basic validation of a build
|
|---|
| 38 | of the langtools workspace for use by JDK. These tests check the contents
|
|---|
| 39 | of the dist/ directory generated by the build, and verify that the various
|
|---|
| 40 | tools can do basic "Hello World"-style processing. These tests should be
|
|---|
| 41 | run by jtreg, with the -jdk option set a version of JDK capable of running
|
|---|
| 42 | the default output of the javac compiler in this workspace. Currently,
|
|---|
| 43 | this means JDK 6 or better.
