CFX is no more, prepare for JPM

[erikvold]

The Mozilla add-on sdk team, myself included, has decided to discontinue the cfx python based cli, we've replaced it with a far leaner jpm nodejs based cli, you can install it with npm install jpm -g, and try it with jpm -h.

Add-ons made with jpm will only work on Nightly at the moment, so you'll have to consider that when deciding when to switch. The plus side is that you can run your test suite on travis with jpm :)

Thanks for letting us know, Erik. What version are you targeting for jpm to be compatible with GA?
