Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the Java SDK's configuration handling and the path that sends segments, then compare the stated AWS_XRAY_SDK_ENABLED behavior with the Python SDK. Done means the Java SDK recognizes the variable and disables segment sending when it is disabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

The python SDK supports AWS_XRAY_SDK_ENABLED which disables sending segments. This allows for one artifact to be deployed everywhere rather than one artifact with the SDK and one without, or having a bunch of "if SDK_ENABLED" spread throughout the code.

It would be nice if the java SDK supported the same variable
