ExecutJava.setOutput remove?
Hi,
setOutput is both deprecated (since 1.4 allegedly) and contains no
code (delegation/stub etc), would anyone object to removing it? I
realise that as a public method we are impacting bc if it is removed,
but since it does nothing currently (according to svn/cvs history, it
has been deprecated since 2003)...

The thing is it doesn't do anything, so people who are currently
using it and haven't noticed that their code isn't working, must be
particularly unobservant :). At the moment it is the Java equivalent
of a noop, but I understand that removing it, could in theory break
someone's code.

that's a tough one. I dont like pulling code. How about in v1.7 we print
out a message @info level warning that it will be gone in the next
version and you should stop using it.
