Re: [Jython-dev] Jython 2.7.2rc1

[Jeff A. <ja...@fa...>]

I've a day free this week so I think I shall use that for Jython 2.7.2, 
which with due care, means it should be public by Monday.

There we prepare the ground like this: https://hg.python.org/jython/file/v2.7.2rc1/Lib/test/test_java_visibility.py#l240 . Note also that Jython respects the environment variable JAVA_OPTS, see https://github.com/jythontools/jython/issues/171#issuecomment-598889263.

ISTR the solution to that partly undid the complicated layer-cake I'd built. I'm pretty sure there's a mistake here too involving multiple system states.
