I looked into the current version of this packake on mentors
(0.0.20050504-2) and I think it looks good. Just some small issues:

debian/rules sets some variables which are set by default correctly now
by CDBS. JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME, ANT_ARGS and DEB_JARS can be removed and
the Build-Depends on cdbs needs to be (>= 0.4.36).

The Debian Java team now recommends to use GCJ to build packages. CDBS
does this by default. The Build-Depends on kaffe need to be exchanged
with java-gcj-compat-dev.

With these things done I would happily sponsor your package. Pleas ping
me privately when done.

I would like to see your package maintained in the Debian Java group and
the files be located in our SVN repository. This doesn't mean you dont
need to any work on it anymore. It just means others in the team can
more easily help you when you have no time or wahtever. What do you think ?


Cheers,
Michael
