Dec 21 16:51:11 UT doesn't use java at all, the reason its in the dependant repo is cause the dependant repo is based on android which uses java, hope that explains it Dec 21 17:17:08 yep, I appreciate the explanation. but if the build fails because it's there, what is the sane way to get rid of it? Dec 21 17:30:04 Comment out whatever needs it Dec 21 18:16:27 Will do Dec 21 19:09:17 last question on this.. in build/core/main.mk there are options like `JAVA_NOT_REQUIRED := false` . can these be set to true (and wherever else I might find similar)? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Dec 22 03:00:02 2018
