It's interesting that most of these bigger programs come with their own .jar files of shared infrastructure (regexp stuff, xerces even). Rather than rely on the bundled jar files, I've chosen to integrate the original library distro as a top-level package, which is why rhug contains java_cup and bcel (used by xerces). We should try to use the existing org.apache.oro if at all possible. > jython might have to be modified as (as I understand it) spits out > class files that we would prefer to compile. My guess is that it works more like rhino and xalan, in that it produces in-memory class definitions which it simply interprets, but can also produce class files if you prefer to use them that way. If this is the case then we don't have to make any changes. > I can give it a try if you want.
