Remove Java support
This patch removes the Java support from gdb. gcj has not seen much development or use for years now, and was recently removed from GCC. This patch changes gdb to follow; in the unlikely event that there are still users using gcj, they can continue to use an older gdb to debug. Or, they can debug in C++ mode. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 24. 2016-10-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * MAINTAINERS: Remove Java test maintainer. * varobj.h (java_varobj_ops): Don't declare. * valprint.h (struct value_print_options) <pascal_static_field_print>: Update comment. * utils.c (producer_is_gcc): Remove java reference. * symtab.h (struct general_symbol_info): Remove java references.
