-Building the "langtools" workspace.
-
-The "langtools" workspace can be built from the command line with Ant.
-The build file is make/build.xml, in conjunction with make/build.properties.
-Some additional user-specific properties files are also read, to allow
-you to customize selected properties as needed.
-
-Individual tools within the workspace can also be built and worked on
-with NetBeans, using the projects in the make/netbeans directory.
-
-The "langtools" workspace can also be built from the command line with
-GNU Make, although the Makefile is simply a wrapper around the Ant
-build file. This is provided for systems (such as the full OpenJDK build)
-that expect to be able to build this workspace with GNU Make.

-Testing the "langtools" workspace.
-
-The primary set of tests for the compiler is the compiler TCK. This
-tests that the compiler performs according to the specifications in
-JLS and JVMS.
-
-In addition, there is a substantial collection of regression and unit
-tests for all the tools in the maain langtools test/ directory.
-
-Finally, there is a small set of tests to do basic validation of a build
-of the langtools workspace for use by JDK. These tests check the contents
-of the dist/ directory generated by the build, and verify that the various
-tools can do basic "Hello World"-style processing. These tests should be
-run by jtreg, with the -jdk option set a version of JDK capable of running
-the default output of the javac compiler in this workspace. Currently, 
-this means JDK 6 or better.
