Re: Jython Slim Version?

I've noticed that the "project name" for the Gradle-built JAR cannot be 
"jython", because we already publish that (being the fat jar). I propose 
therefore to name it "jython-slim", in honour of this thread.

It's experimental anyway: I don't have much confidence it is correctly 
built. I could really do with writing an application with it as a 
dependency. (Or others doing so during beta.)
