 Scripting with Jython Instead of XML

Response to: Python as a scripting language


SCons has recently added support for compiling Java (javac, javah, jar and rmic), including good dependency analysis involving MD5 signatures of source file contents and a stripped-down parser that figures out what .class files will be generated. We're also adding support for more and more Ant tasks, although because Scons is in Python, not Jython, these are Python re-implementations, not calls to Ant's Java implementations.

One SCons goal has always been to make it completely portable to Jython. We've generalized some small things to make it more Jython-friendly, but haven't yet had a Jython expert on board who can really complete the support appropriately. If anyone is interested, please contact us through the SCons web site (URL in tremolo's post, above).
