How to build JDK, Hotspot, JAXP, JAXWS, Langtools and Corba projects from NetBeans

There are two ways to build JDK (j2se) project.


The easiest one is to open World project (~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/netbeans/) from NetBeans, add "build.properties" file to
~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/netbeans/world/private/
with following content

#PATH to JDK7
bootstrap.jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

and wait 4-6 hours.
During this build hotspot, jaxp, jaxws, langtools and corba projects are also will be built.

Another way is to build all of these projects separately.
-------------------
1). To build hotspot you can run "make" command from 
~/sources/jdk8_tl/hotspot/make
or use Hacking Hotspot in Eclipse instruction

-------------------
2). For corba project there is no NetBeans project.
To build it you have to open

vi ~/.bachrc

and append

export ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

Then execute

source ~/.bashrc ;
cd ~/sources/jdk8_tl/corba/make ;
make ;

-------------------
3). To build jaxp project from NetBeans you should:
1. Run NetBeans. Open jaxp project using File-->Open Project. It is located here: ~/sources/jdk8_tl/

2. (Optional) Create a file with name "build.properties" at the
~/sources/jdk8_tl/jaxp/nbproject/private
with following content:

#PATH to JDK7
bootstrap.jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

3. In jaxp NetBeans project right click on "build.xml" file, then select "Run Target" and click on "dist" target.
The built files that will be imported into the jdk build will be in the "~/sources/jdk8_tl/jaxp/dist" directory.

-------------------
4). To build jaxws project from NetBeans you should:
1. Run NetBeans. Open jaxws project using File-->Open Project. It is located here: ~/sources/jdk8_tl/

2.  (Optional) Create a file with name "build.properties" at the
~/sources/jdk8_tl/jaxws/nbproject/private
with following content:

#PATH to JDK7
bootstrap.jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

3. In jaxws NetBeans project right click on "build.xml" file, then select "Run Target" and click on "dist" target.

The built files that will be imported into the jdk build will be in the "~/sources/jdk8_tl/jaxws/dist" directory.

-------------------
5). To build langtools project from NetBeans you should:
1. Run NetBeans. Open langtools project using File-->Open Project. It is located here: ~/sources/jdk8_tl/langtools/make/netbeans

2. In langtools NetBeans project open "Build files" folder and then "build.properties" file. In this file uncomment line 32 and set

boot.java.home =/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

3.In langtools NetBeans project right click on "build.xml" file, then select "Run Target" and click on "build" target.

The built files that will be imported into the jdk build will be in the "~/sources/jdk8_tl/langtools/dist" directory.



-------------------
6).  To build jdk (j2se) project from NetBeans you should:
1. Run NetBeans. Open j2se project using File-->Open Project. It is located here: ~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/netbeans/

2. Create a file with name "build.properties" at the
/home/openjdk/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/netbeans/j2se/nbproject/private
with following content:

bootstrap.jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
make.options=\
    ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 \
    ALT_LANGTOOLS_DIST=~/sources/jdk8_tl/langtools/dist \
    ALT_CORBA_DIST=~/sources/jdk8_tl/corba/dist \
    ALT_JAXP_DIST=~/sources/jdk8_tl/jaxp/dist/ \
    ALT_JAXWS_DIST=~/sources/jdk8_tl/jaxws/dist/ \
    ALT_HOTSPOT_IMPORT_PATH=~/sources/jdk8_tl/hotspot/build/linux/export-linux-amd64 \
    OPENJDK=true

3. In jdk (j2se) NetBeans project right click on "build.xml" file, then select "Run Target" and click on "build" target.

4. Wait near one or two hours
