Improve how OpenJ9.mk builds the images #67

Closed yongja79 closed 5 years ago

yongja79 commented 6 years ago

The issue to get jlink to work #21 brought up how OpenJ9.gmk builds the build jdk, image jdk and image jre and how it should be improved.

Is closed/OpenJ9.gmk is the correct place for this. The [pre/post] Images.gmk might be a better location or extending 'module'-libs targets or maybe customizing/extending jdk/make/lib/Lib-java.base.gmk?

If closed/OpenJ9.gmk is the right place, improve the macro used to copy across the J9 files into the images. See if a single macro is possible and if removing the explicit copies can be done. See PR #66 for more information.

We also need to consider how the build jdk should be handled for cross compiling, as that currently doesn't seem to work.

this is now obsolete, as the make file has been reworked quite a bit since then now
