Forget about the frontend, there's only one module in the tools/javato
at moment, (The frontend I mentioned previously was for the tools/wsdlto)
My suggestion here is to have scripts for the java2js, and put the js
stuff inside the java2ws.

Jim and James,
I agreed with James, and now I want to agree with Jim.
The problem with calling Javascript a front end is that we then need two
front ends at the same time.
To generate JS from Java, we need to specify:
... JAXWS or Simple (and their options)
... JAXB or Aegis (or one of the more exotic others) (and their
options)
... the SEI
... the classpath
Given these items, we can construct a service model. Given a service
model, we can generate a client in JavaScript.
We can't make JS a third choice from JAXWS and Simple, because we need
to use of of them.
Sadly, I'm really exhausted. I'm going to go away, and look forward to
reading the results of your further deliberations when I get up in the
morning.
Hiding in the background is the existing support for Javascript
\servers/. Hypothetically, we could even have js2js. I propose to
completely ignore this issue for the moment.

Here is the XML for the java2js command.
The basic idea is this: the code has to process a service.
That means
it needs an SEI, a front-end, and a data binding, just like
java2ws.
This is going to require some refactoring of code into some common
place from java2ws. It can't be tools-common, without producing a
circular build-path problem. The whole idea of the
implementation of
rt/javascript is that this tool is very nearly identical to
java2ws.
We want to cause the very same kind of ServiceInfo model to
get built,
but then run a Javascript generator instead of a WSDL generator.
Agreed !
I can split java2ws into two modules : java2common and
java2ws then you can reuse the java2common to build this new tool .
