0N/AWorking on Jar and Zip code using the NetBeans IDE

0N/A

0N/AThis note is specific to working on jar and zip; much more information about

0N/Aworking with this project and others is in ../README.

0N/A

0N/AThis project allows developers to work on the Jar and Zip in java.util.jar and

0N/Ajava.util.zip, as well as the jar tool itself in sun.tools.jar. The NetBeans

0N/Aproject supports editing, building, testing, and debugging of this code. This

0N/Ais a make-based project, and involves compilation of native code. Some of

0N/Athis native code is provided by the JDK community, but the base zip library is

0N/Afrom http://www.zlib.net.

0N/A

0N/APlease note: The most recent zlib is version 1.2.3. We are providing zlib

0N/Aversion 1.1.3, modified to include security fixes that have been added since

0N/Athat release.

0N/ASource code layout

0N/A

0N/AThe jar tool depends on the jar library, which in turn depends on the zip

0N/Alibrary. This in turn depends on some native code, which in turn depends on

0N/Athe zlib library:

0N/A

0N/Asun.tools.jar depends on

0N/A java.util.jar, which depends on

0N/A java.util.zip, which depends on

0N/A src/share/native/java/util/zip, which depends on

0N/A src/share/native/java/util/zip/zlib-1.1.3.

0N/A

0N/AThe project is set up to invoke make on the zip code first. This make target

0N/Acompile the native zip code, as well as the Java sources in java.util.zip.

0N/ASubsequent invocations of make build java.util.jar, and then sun.tools.jar.

0N/A

0N/AInsofar as NetBeans use is concerned with Java code, most things you are used

0N/Ato. You can build the project. There are several regression tests included,

0N/Arun either as a group via Test Project or individually via Run File.

0N/ADebugging is also supported, try Debug File. Since the jar tool needs command

0N/Aline parameters in order to do anything interesting, it is not hooked up to

0N/ARun Project in NetBeans.
