307278 - Remove the JS shell

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Blake Kaplan (:mrbkap) (inactive)]

This folder (and the files inside of it) haven't been touched since 1999. I took
a look inside and found buffer overruns and other fun stuff inside (I haven't
tried to compile it or verify that it even tries to work). In its defense, I
didn't see nearly as many overt bugs  as in jsfile.c, but that isn't a very hard
metric to meet.

I'll attach a diff -N of the removal in a second.

Buh-bye!  CVS never forgets, but we can.

Onward to renaming:

js/src/xpconnect => js/xpcom
js/src/liveconnect => js/java
js/src/perlconnect => js/perl

I believe I can help do the CVS moves.

One bug fix per bug is my current mantra. Marking this as FIXED, the JS shell
implementation is now residing in the Attic.
