Re: Reconsidering gcjx

Another concern: I gather there are lots of dependencies
between Eclipse libraries.  Does ecj depend on any other
Eclipse libraries?  Even if there are no run-time dependencies,
it's awkward if a class statically references some random
Eclipse class that somehow pulls in large parts of Eclipse.

I.e. I'm hoping one can *statically* link ecj without any
dependencies on (say) the SWT toolkit, or the debugger?

This is not an absolute requirement, and if there are just
a couple of troublesome dependencies, it is normally possible
(if ugly) to turn a static dependency into a run-time check,
using reflection.
