Like in title.
Would it be possible to restore a way to build the package without installing a JDK and Ant - e.g. by shipping the prebuilt org.jpype.jar in the sdist again (as 1.6 did), or by making the Ant/JDK jar build opt-out with the bundled jar as a fallback?
My situation:
I don't use JPype directly. It comes in transitively as a peer dependency of another dependency in a project I do use,
so I have no control over it being pulled in. I'm on arm32, where there are no prebuilt wheels,
so installation always falls back to a source build - and I really don't want to install a Java toolchain on this system just to satisfy an indirect dependency. On 1.6.x this built fine with only a C++ compiler.
