Re: Incremental build of IKVM sources

Hi Steve,

You're right. I don't do a full rebuild every time. When I make a runtime change, I just run "nant" in the ikvm/runtime directory. When I make an ikvmc change, I run "nant" in the ikvm/ikvmc directory followed by "nant core" in the ikvm/openjdk directory. The last step just runs ikvmc over the OpenJDK class files and is pretty fast.

I hope that incremental build will become easier with the module system in OpenJDK 9.

Regards,
Jeroen
