In the archive is a folder src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib . It would be nice if the ebuild could build a commons-httpclient-contrib.jar from it as well. (It is for example needed if you want to build ganttproject from source without jars). And maybe introduce the examples USE flag to prevent examples from being built but not installed.
You can find the ebuild in overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/migrated-java-experimental-overlay/dev-java/commons-httpclient

Reopening, had to remove the contrib in 3.0.1-r1 for bug 176133. Nothing in tree depended on it. Should make a separate package for it as dependency of whatever will need it.
What's up here since 2007? Any progress? Is this ebuild still needed?
Closing as per previous comment.
