I pushed a branch named 2.2.8 to the git repo.
This branch is nowhere near to be uploaded.

To build it, you will need to add javaee-api-7.0.jar to the classpath.
However, this is FTBFS for me. It would be great if you can try to
build it.

Oh, I was talking about JavaEE API 7.0 source code.

That Blink.java file can be removed from sources if needed.

Yep, I need help with this because I have not much free time in the
last weeks and freeze deadline is approaching.

Let me know if we can meet on irc, or we can continue via email as
usual.

I'll be working on this package (and the JavaEE one) this weekend.
