+If you plan to modify a .java file, you will need to configure with
+--enable-java-maintainer-mode. In order to make this work properly,
+you will need to have 'ecj1' and 'gjavah' executables in your PATH at
+build time.
+
+One way to do this is to download ecj.jar (see contrib/download_ecj)
+and write a simple wrapper script like:
+
+ #! /bin/sh
+ gij -cp /home/tromey/gnu/Generics/trunk/ecj.jar \
+ org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.GCCMain \
+ ${1+"$@"}
+
+For gjavah, you can make a tools.zip from the classes in
+classpath/lib/tools/ and write a gjavah script like:
+
+ #! /bin/sh
+ dir=/home/tromey/gnu/Generics/Gcjh
+ gij -cp $dir/tools.zip \
+ gnu.classpath.tools.javah.Main \
+ ${1+"$@"}
+
+Another way to get a version of gjavah is to first do a
+non-maintainer-mode build and use the newly installed gjavah.

+
+To regenerate libjava/configure, first run aclocal passing the flags
+found near the top of Makefile.am, then autoconf. H. J. Lu writes that
+this can be done using these commands:
+
+ cd libjava &&
+ rm -f aclocal.m4 &&
+ ACFLAGS=$(grep "^ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS" Makefile.in | sed -e "s/ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS[ \t ]*=//") &&
+ aclocal-1.9 $ACFLAGS &&
+ rm -f configure &&
+ autoconf-2.59 &&
+ rm -fr autom4te.cache
+
+See the GCC documentation which auto* versions to use.

libgcj uses GNU Classpath as an upstream provider. Snapshots of
Classpath are imported into the libgcj source tree. Some classes are
overridden by local versions; these files still appear in the libgcj
- Check out a classpath snapshot or take a release tar.gz file.
I use 'cvs export' for this. Make a tag to ensure future hackers
know exactly what revision was checked out; tags are of the form
- 'libgcj-import-DATE'.
+ 'libgcj-import-DATE' (when using a tagged checkout do:
+ - ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make dist
+ to get a proper .tar.gz for importing below).
- Get a svn checkout of
svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/CLASSPATH/libjava/classpath
this contains "pure" GNU Classpath inside the GCC tree.
- Clean it up and get the files from a new version:
- - find classpath -type f | grep -v /\.svn | grep -v /\.cvs
+ - find classpath -type f | grep -v /\.svn | grep -v /\.cvs | xargs rm
- tar zxf classpath-x.tar.gz
- cp -r classpath-x/* classpath
- Add/Remove files:
- svn status classpath | grep ^\! | cut -c8- | xargs svn remove
- svn status classpath | grep ^\? | cut -c8- | xargs svn add
-- If there are any empty directories now they can be removed.
+- If there are any empty directories now they can be removed. You can find
+ candidates (dirs with files removed) with:
+ - for i in `svn status classpath | grep ^D | cut -c8-`; \
+ do ls -d `dirname $i`; done | uniq
- Update vendor branch
- svn commit classpath
- Note the new revision number (Xrev)
in the classpath/ChangeLog.gcj file.
(Don't forget to svn resolved files.)
- Use auto* to create configure, Makefile.in, etc

pass has finished.)

Over time we plan to remove as many of the remaining divergences as
possible.
In general you should not make any changes in the classpath/
directory. Changes here should come via imports from upstream.
-However, there are two (known) exceptions to this rule:
+However, there are three (known) exceptions to this rule:
* In an emergency, such as a bootstrap breakage, it is ok to commit a
patch provided that the problem is resolved (by fixing a compiler
* On a release branch to fix a bug, where a full-scale import of
Classpath is not advisable.
+* We maintain a fair number of divergences in the build system.
+ This is a pain but they don't seem suitable for upstream.

You can develop in a GCC tree using a CVS checkout of Classpath, most
at that point. This must be run from the build tree, in
<build>/classpath/lib; it uses the .class file name to determine
what to print.

-If you're generating a patch there is a program you can get to do an
-offline `cvs add' (it will fake an `add' if you don't have write
-permission yet). Then you can use `cvs diff -N' to generate the
-patch. See http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/
