Unresolved ct.sym may be a big problem as the ct.sym contains info about profiles and release. Fixed jet-main 2ba1223aac15 Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201508070002* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/2ba1223aac15 User: Tomas Zezula <tzezula@netbeans.org> Log: #247351:Default platform reports canonical bootclasspath roots |
During debugging of CachingArchiveProvider, I've discovered hat while classpath entries for which CachingArchives are to be created use canonical paths, the JavPlatform's install folders use paths that were not cannonicalized. Because of this differency, ct.sym is not always properly used instead of rt.jar (project uses default platform, the default platform provides cannonical bcp entries, each entry is then tested whether it resides underneath a report JDK install folder, which gives false). According to offline discussion, the default platform BCP should be de-cannonicalized (path prefixes replaced for install folder) if the reported jar locations are outside of the JDK root dir. Setup on my machine is: /space/jdk_{java_version} -- real install folders /space/jdk/{6,7,8} -- symlinks to the newest patch for the appropriate JDK release. I usually setup Platforms using the symlinked dirs and even NetBeans runs using "symlinked" JDK path.
