New HotSpot build system [JEP 284]

The Java platform used, prior to Java 9, was a build system riddled with duplicate code, redundancies, and other inefficiencies. The build system has been reworked for Java 9 based on the build-infra framework. In this context, infra is short for infrastructure. The overarching goal for JEP 284 was to upgrade the build system to one that was simplified. Specific goals included:

  • Leverage existing build system
  • Maintainable code
  • Minimize duplicate code
  • Simplification
  • Support future enhancements
