1.4 +Working on the "langtools" workspace using NetBeans.
1.5 +
1.6 +This directory (make/netbeans) contains NetBeans projects that
1.7 +allow you to work on the various tools using the NetBeans IDE.
1.8 +
1.9 +NetBeans 5.0 or later is required and sufficient to use these
1.10 +projects. This is different from other projects in OpenJDK,
1.11 +which requires version 6.0 or later.
1.12 +
1.13 +The following projects are provided:
1.14 +
1.15 +compiler: for working on the compiler, javac
1.16 +javadoc: for working on the documentation tool, javadoc
1.17 +doclets: for working on the standard doclets used by the
1.18 + documentation tool, javadoc
1.19 +javah: for working on the C header tool, javah
1.20 +javap: for working on the disassembler, javap
1.21 +apt: for working on the annotation processing tool, apt.
1.22 + Note that this is just provided for completeness;
1.23 + the tool has been superceded by new features in javac,
1.24 + and work on apt itself is discouraged.
1.25 +
1.26 +However, any tool can be worked on from any project; the only difference
1.27 +between these projects is the behavior of the standard NetBeans actions,
1.28 +so that "Build" in the compiler project will build the compiler, etc.
