-<h3><a name="REGEXP"></a><br>
-REGEXP</h3>
-<p> REGEXP is a list of wildcard patterns that determines which packages listed
- in CORE_PKGS.gmk go into which summary-table on the main API index page. It
- was motivated by the need to divide the world into "core packages"
- (java.*) and "extension packages" (javax.*). In time, the distinction
- went away. The whole table is now called "Platform Packages"--which
- eliminated the need for this list of regular expressions. But it lingered on,
- accreting all of the packages in the JVM, one by one. I pruned it back to "*",
- so it now covers every package in the Java platform API docs. If some separation
- is needed in the future, it can grow back into a colon-separated list, starting
- with this, which is in all respects equivalent to "*" at this point
- in time:</p>
-<blockquote>
- <pre>REGEXP = "java.*:javax.*:org.ietf*:org.omg.</pre>

- Release Targets</h3>
-<p> (Thanks to Kelly O'Hair for this info.)</p>
-<p> The <tt>rel-coredocs</tt> and <tt>rel-docs</tt> targets were added by Eric
- Armstrong. <tt>rel-coredocs</tt> assumes the kind of large, 32-bit machine used
- in the javapubs group's docs-release process. It specifies memory settings accordingly
- to maximize performance.</p>
-<p> The performance settings, like the sanity check, are most important for the
- core docs--the platform APIs. Running javadoc on those APIs takes a significant
- amount of time and memory. Setting the initial heap size as large as possible
- is important to prevent thrashing as the heap grows. Setting the maximum as
- large as necessary is also important to keep the job from failing.</p>
-<blockquote>
- <p> <tt>-J-Xmx512</tt> sets a maximum of 512, which became necessary in 6.0<br>
- <tt>-J-Xms256</tt> sets starting size to 256 (default is 8)</p>
-</blockquote>
-<p> <tt>rel-coredocs</tt> also includes a sanity check to help ensure that <tt>BUILD_NUMBER</tt>
- and <tt>MILESTONE</tt> are specified properly when docs are built outside of
- the normal release engineering process, with the intention of releasing them
- on the web or in a downloaded docs bundle. (When invoked in release engineering's
- control build, the values are always set properly. But when the targets are
- run by themselves, they default to b00 and "internal"--which silently
- sabotage the result of a build that can take many hours to complete.</p>
