Moving modules around so the runtime is under one master pom and can be built without building other modules that are in the repository

    25 /** Build your own virtual machine! Use methods in this class to generate
    26  * a skeleton JVM in JavaScript that contains pre-compiled classes of your
    27  * choice. The generated script defines one JavaScript method that can
    28  * be used to bootstrap and load the virtual machine: <pre>
    29  * var vm = bck2brwsr();
    30  * var main = vm.loadClass('org.your.pkg.Main');
    31  * main.main__V_3Ljava_lang_String_2(null);
    32  * </pre>
    33  * In case one wants to initialize the virtual machine with ability to
    34  * load classes lazily when needed, one can provide a loader function to
    35  * when creating the virtual machine: <pre>
    36  * var vm = bck2brwsr(function(resource) { 
    37  *   return null; // byte[] for the resource
    38  * });
    39  * </pre>
    40  * In this scenario, when a request for an unknown class is made, the loader
    41  * function is asked for its byte code and the system dynamically transforms
    42  * it to JavaScript.
    43  * <p>
    44  * Instead of a loader function, one can also provide a URL to a JAR file.
    45  * The <code>bck2brwsr</code> system will do its best to download the file
    46  * and provide loader function for it automatically.
    47  * <p>
    48  * One can provide as many loader functions and JAR URL references as necessary.
    49  * Then the initialization code would look like:<pre>
    50  * var vm = bck2brwsr(url1, url2, fnctn1, url3, functn2);
    51  * </pre>
    52  * The provided URLs and loader functions will be consulted one by one.
