duke@1: Working on the "langtools" workspace using NetBeans.
duke@1: 
duke@1: This directory (make/netbeans) contains NetBeans projects that
duke@1: allow you to work on the various tools using the NetBeans IDE.
duke@1: 
duke@1: NetBeans 5.0 or later is required and sufficient to use these 
duke@1: projects. This is different from other projects in OpenJDK, 
duke@1: which requires version 6.0 or later.
duke@1: 
duke@1: The following projects are provided:
duke@1: 
duke@1: compiler: for working on the compiler, javac
duke@1: javadoc:  for working on the documentation tool, javadoc
duke@1: doclets:  for working on the standard doclets used by the 
duke@1:  	  documentation tool, javadoc
duke@1: javah:    for working on the C header tool, javah
duke@1: javap:    for working on the disassembler, javap
duke@1: apt:      for working on the annotation processing tool, apt.
duke@1:           Note that this is just provided for completeness;
duke@1:           the tool has been superceded by new features in javac,
duke@1:           and work on apt itself is discouraged.
duke@1: 
duke@1: However, any tool can be worked on from any project; the only difference
duke@1: between these projects is the behavior of the standard NetBeans actions,
duke@1: so that "Build" in the compiler project will build the compiler, etc.
