[Jython-dev] jythonc -A option does not track dead java variables

[Daniel M. <ma...@cy...>]

It seems that if you have

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
package a;
class A {
  B b; //b never used
  ...
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
package a;
class B {
...
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
class C(A):
   ...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++


then

$ jythonc -j c.jar -A a c.py

will not include a/B.class in the jar file.
As a result

$java -cp c.jar C

will crash with a class a/B.class not found exception.
