Hi

I have been working on this myself - you may want to check the bugs for
the "java-common" package; it has all the suggested changes as well as
my last draft (a month or 3 old now). I have been working on a second
draft; though I have not been giving it too much attention lately.

I will see if I cannot get it completed before Christmas.
