489986 - Remove support for javaglue

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect, P3)

Description

[Lars T Hansen]

We're not testing the projector (in the shell) or the javaglue.  There's no call for this functionality.  We should remove the code and resurrect it if and when there's a call for it.

[Lars T Hansen]

(zwetan reports that he uses the projector mode, generating code by 'asc -exe'.)

Comment 2

[Erik Tierney]

I think asdoc uses this functionality.

and by "this functionality", I mean the projector - not the javaglue.(In reply to comment #2)

alright.  then we need to support it, including testing it, and cross-platform functionality is probably a must.

Comment 5

[Lars T Hansen]

asc -exe is known to produce something useful on Mac, at least.  More testing necessary for other platforms.

Comment 6

[zwetan]

I tested asc -exe and it produces useable exe for Windows XP/2003, OS X 10.5+ and Ubuntu 7.10 (those exe are used daily on ant build)

the only little problem is that asc -exe always generate an *.exe extension

The review has been approved -- any reason to not land in TR for Brannan?
