[e-lang] Joe-E 2.0 Release

[Adrian Mettler]

The dependency on the missing class is as intended. 
org.joe_e.taming.Policy is the runtime taming information.  It is 
automatically generated by the verifier to include all the methods 
permitted in the safej files and all the methods defined by Joe-E code 
in the project being compiled.  An alternate approach would be to use a 
"standard" org.joe_e.taming.Policy that only includes taming decisions 
for library classes and uses classloader lookups to ensure that 
reflective access to new code is allowed; this is what is suggested to 
maintain the current behavior of waterken, so that new code can be 
verified and added in an open-ended way without needing to recompile 
org.joe_e.taming.Policy.
