| 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 6.0 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 | |
| 22 For more information: | |
| 23 Ant: http://ant.apache.org/ | |
| 24 GNU Make: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ | |
| 25 NetBeans: http://www.netbeans.org/ | |

| 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. |
