1.4 -Building the "langtools" workspace.
1.5 -
1.6 -The "langtools" workspace can be built from the command line with Ant.
1.7 -The build file is make/build.xml, in conjunction with make/build.properties.
1.8 -Some additional user-specific properties files are also read, to allow
1.9 -you to customize selected properties as needed.
1.10 -
1.11 -Individual tools within the workspace can also be built and worked on
1.12 -with NetBeans, using the projects in the make/netbeans directory.
1.13 -
1.14 -The "langtools" workspace can also be built from the command line with
1.15 -GNU Make, although the Makefile is simply a wrapper around the Ant
1.16 -build file. This is provided for systems (such as the full OpenJDK build)
1.17 -that expect to be able to build this workspace with GNU Make.
1.18 -
1.19 -System Requirements:
1.20 - Ant: version 1.6.5 or later
1.21 - NetBeans: version 6.0 or later (optional)
1.22 - JDK: currently version 1.5.0, although 1.6.0 is recommended
1.23 - OS: any system supporting the above tools

1.25 -For more information:
1.26 - Ant: http://ant.apache.org/
1.27 - GNU Make: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/
1.28 - NetBeans: http://www.netbeans.org/

1.31 -Testing the "langtools" workspace.
1.32 -
1.33 -The primary set of tests for the compiler is the compiler TCK. This
1.34 -tests that the compiler performs according to the specifications in
1.35 -JLS and JVMS.
1.36 -
1.37 -In addition, there is a substantial collection of regression and unit
1.38 -tests for all the tools in the maain langtools test/ directory.
1.39 -
1.40 -Finally, there is a small set of tests to do basic validation of a build
1.41 -of the langtools workspace for use by JDK. These tests check the contents
1.42 -of the dist/ directory generated by the build, and verify that the various
1.43 -tools can do basic "Hello World"-style processing. These tests should be
1.44 -run by jtreg, with the -jdk option set a version of JDK capable of running
1.45 -the default output of the javac compiler in this workspace. Currently,
1.46 -this means JDK 6 or better.
