Summary: Grinder 3.4 doesn't build with Jython 2.5

Initial Comment:
It is impossible to build Grinder 3.4 with Jython 2.5. When I replace Jython 2.5 with the jar from Jython 2.1 everything goes fine.
I'm trying to package the Grinder for Debian and this issue makes the build too complicated. Please correct it.

Message:
That's exacly what I'm doing, but it's a very dirty hack and no open source
distribution will accept such a package in its official repo.
You should at least provide a compilation option so that the old API could
be disabled and Grinder built without it. That would permit me to propose
my Debian package for its integration to the main Debian archive.

Message:
Currently The Grinder uses Jython 2.2.1, and depends on it by default. It
relies on Jython internal APIs that were changed in an incompatible way in
2.5. There is a work in progress to introduce a more capable
instrumentation engine that has no direct dependence on Jython, however
this is not yet the default engine and has known issues (2958145, 2992248,
3287570).

As a work around, you might obtain a copy of the Jython 2.2.1 jar file and
drop it into the lib directory. This will allow the build to complete.
