| Working on Swing Using the NetBeans IDE |
| |
| This Swing NetBeans project allows a developer interested in making changes to |
| and/or fixing bugs in swing to modify, build, run and test swing in a |
| standalone manner as well as generating the javadoc for the swing classes. |
| |
| README FIRST |
| |
| make/netbeans/README to get started with NetBeans IDE and OpenJDK, and |
| working with the OpenJDK NetBeans projects. |
| |
| WORKING WITH SWING |
| |
| Swing doesn't contain native code; it's pure java. You don't need to |
| have all the Java SE sources to work on Swing but just the following subset: |
| |
| make/netbeans/ |
| javax/swing/ |
| com/sun/swing/ |
| com/sun/java/swing/ |
| sun/swing/ |
| |
| The set of actions supported by this project are: |
| |
| * Build Project: |
| |
| - Compiles Swing's source files and puts the class files under |
| build/${platform}-${arch}/classes. |
| |
| - Generates swing.jar file under dist/lib/swing.jar |
| |
| This new jar file could be used to patch an existing JDK installation |
| by using -Xbootclasspath/p:$MYSRC/dist/lib/swing.jar |
| |
| * Generate Javadoc for Project |
| |
| - Generates the javadoc for the Swing source files, |
| |
| - The javadoc is generated under build/${platform}-${arch}/javadoc/swing. |
| |
| * Run Project |
| |
| - Builds and runs the SampleTree demo. |
| |
| * Debug Project |
| |
| - Builds and then runs the debugger on the SampleTree demo. |
| |
| * Clean Project |
| |
| - Cleans the files created by this project under build, dist, and demo. |
| |
| IMPORTANT NOTE |
| |
| Please make sure to follow carefully the governance rules documented at |
| http://openjdk.dev.java.net/ |
| |
| KNOWN ISSUES |
| |
| When debugging the project, breakpoints set in SampleTree's code will be |
| stopped at, but the editor display will not update correctly. Breakpoints |
| outside of the constructor work as expected. |
