JConsole
Building via CLI
To build JConsole via the command-line interface (Old Build)* perform the below actions:
Ensure both 'ant 1.8' or higher and 'gawk 4.0.1' or higher are installed under Ubuntu by performing the below commands:
sudo apt-get install ant sudo apt-get install gawk
Go to the folder where the JConsole build files are:
cd ~/sources//jdk8_tl/jdk/make/eclipse/jconsole
Change the build.properties in this folder by adding the below entries:
javac.version.source=1.5 javac.version.target=1.7 basedir=/home/openjdk/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/eclipse/jconsole/ bootstrap.jdk=/home/openjdk/sources/jdk8_tl/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/j2sdk-image make.options=\ ARCH_DATA_MODEL=64 \ ZIP_DEBUGINFO_FILES=0
Perform the below action at the command prompt to start the ant build.
ant clean build -propertyfile build.properties &> jconsoleAntBuild.log
*Note: at the time of the writing of these instructions JMX could only be built using the Old Build system, ant build and make files for the build-infra system are not yet available.
Configurating and building in Eclipse
Perform the same step as for Swing using the respective files in the ~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/eclipse/jconsole/ folder.
Amend the build.properties file a bit diferent, insert the below lines instead:
Old Build #PATH to JDK8 bootstrap.jdk=/home/openjdk/sources/jdk8_tl/build/linux-amd64_backup/j2sdk-image basedir=~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/eclipse/jconsole/ javac.version.source=1.7 javac.version.target=1.7
InfraBuild #PATH to JDK8 bootstrap.jdk=/home/openjdk/sources/jdk8_tl/build/linux-x64-normal-server-release/images/j2sdk-image basedir=~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/make/eclipse/jconsole/ javac.version.source=1.7 javac.version.target=1.7
Run the Build of JConsole project by selecting the build.xml file and right mouse click on the Run as > Ant build option.
Observe the messages in the Console tab in Eclipse and wait for sometime till the build is complete (depends on performance of your computer).
Build messages: logs
- A successful run of the ant build results in the output of the following log messages:
jconsoleAntBuild.log
Build output: artefacts
The general JConsole build artefact can be found at ~/sources/jdk8_tl/jdk/dist/lib/jconsole.jar
