Hi,

as announced in bug #1012103[1] I'm hereby asking for removal of this
package.  I do absolutely share the sentiment of Sascha Silbe that it is
a shame to see this package go.  However, if there is no commitment to
fix the issues of this package inside Debian it does not make any sense
to pretend it is maintained.

I'd be happy if someone educated in Java and sufficient time resources
might prove my assumption wrong, tag this bug `moreinfo` and fix bug
#1012103.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
