java-config (and javatoolkit) does a lot more than just switch between |
| 35 |
JDKs. Our XML rewriting is currently under the javatoolkit package but |
| 36 |
it would also need to be converted to c++ if we wanted to drop python. |
| 37 |
The JDK switching user interface can of course be left solely to the |
| 38 |
more general tool but I don't know if java-config --classpath for |
| 39 |
example makes sense there. |
