[Scons-dev] File-based build tools will never handle Java

[Kenny, Jason L]

I would add it general a PITA to make a new node type in SCons <period> ( given we are adding a SymbolicFileNode in the Parts 0.10.2 drop)

The issue with fixing the node class is that it is the Bones of SCons.. "fixing" effects a lot of code that currently is to strongly coupled. It is fixable, but I think this needs a little time, and design work.

Could we fix this?  Everyone knows the Node class needs some TLC.
Could be a headline feature for v1.4...
