Bug#620343: RFP: jecho -- Java version of echo



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : jecho
  Version         : 1.00
  Upstream Author : Brendan Gregg
* URL             : http://www.brendangregg.com/specials.html#jecho
* License         : GPLv2+
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description     : Java version of echo

This version of echo obeys the POSIX 1003.1, 2004 standard, which specifies that echo shall not support any options, and need not support any escape characters (and this doesn't). This way sites can use the same standard version of echo on all their systems, and not be at the mercy of quirky shell builtins.
