Yes it is, it's very well-known, and is almost universally rejected.
It bakes hard paths into jarfiles and overrides -classpath. In other

It's not really suitable for any use, IMO.
I was about post exactly the same response but Andrew beat me to it.
I'll just underline
_very well-known_
_almost universally rejected_
and
_not really suitable for any use_
Hope that helps ;-)
