I'll help John write the ebuild for this. John - get over to my cube :)

Java folks (Karl? :) ) - i'm willing to be maintainer for this package, I can track John down any weekday if a bug pops up. Any probs with that?

feel free to take the maintainership, no problem at all as long as you follow our java policy. i.e. no packed jars and build from source if possible:

tossing into the wanted pile in case someone wants to pick this up still

No progress here for almost 2 years; closing WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen with an ebuild.
