It isn't used anymore, nor are those config.mk definitions.

Gijs, KaiRo, timeless: I noticed it's still used in venkman's makelocalexpi.sh [1] -- however I can't tell if that file's still used, given that there's a makefile [2] that seems to do the same thing. Do you know whether it is?

I am fairly sure that Gijs (or "someone") still uses it to make venkman, however SeaMonkeys build system doesn't touch it.

[checked in] Kill it with fire (c-c)

Note that we reference make-jars.pl in two places in the build.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/config/config.mk?mark=418-418#415 (the second is the js/src location in mozilla-central)

Please either drop the comment (like the main m-c config.mk) or change it to reference JarMaker.py

r+ conditional on the m-c review.

No, makelocalexpi is only used by localizers that create l10n xpis for standalone venkman. I'm not sure any such people exist (anymore), and if they do, I suspect the script has been broken for quite a while now. :-(

In any case, remove what you want to remove, is what I'd say...

c-c's closed right now, so I'll push whenever it reopens.
