@ -7,11 +7,11 @@ This repository is incubating a new buffer API proposed for Netty 5.
Short version: just run `make`.
The project currently relies on snapshot versions of the [Panama Foreign](https://github.com/openjdk/panama-foreign) fork of OpenJDK.
This allows us to test out the must recent version of the `jdk.incubator.foreign` APIs, but also make building and local development more involved.
This allows us to test out the most recent version of the `jdk.incubator.foreign` APIs, but also make building, and local development more involved.
To simplify things, we have a Docker based build, controlled via a Makefile with the following commands:
* `image` build the docker image. This includes building a snapshot of OpenJDK, and download all relevant Maven dependencies.
* `test` run all tests in a docker container. This implies `image`. The container is automatically deleted afterwards.
* `dbg` drop into a shell in the build container, without running the build itself. The debugging container is not deleted afterwards.
* `clean` remote the debugging container created by `dbg`.
* `clean` remove the leftover containers created by `dbg`, `test`, and `build`.
* `build` build binaries and run all tests in a container, and copy the `target` directory out of the container afterwards. This is the default build target.
