Hi everyone,
We are thinking of removing the extcheck tool. For those who doesn't remember
what it is, here is an extract from its man page:
extcheck(1)
NAME
extcheck - jar conflict detection utility
SYNOPSIS
extcheck [ -verbose ] [ -Joption ] targetfile.jar
DESCRIPTION
The extcheck utility checks a specified jar file for title and version
conflicts with any extensions installed in the JDK software. Before installing
an
extension, you can use this utility to see if the same or a more recent
version of the extension is already installed...
We don't think it is widely used. And will become even less useful with
upcoming modularization. Are there any good reasons to keep this thing in the
JDK?
