I'd like to move josm (0.0.svn8159+dfsg1-1) and jmapviewer (1.07+dfsg-1)
to unstable, but this requires the libmetadata-extractor-java to be
moved there first.

JOSM upstream has recently switched to JCS for their caching needs,
libcommons-jcs-java is not yet packaged for Debian but I'm looking into
it (there seem to be some missing build dependencies though).

Before focusing on the latest JOSM with its JCS requirement I'd like to
get the current version in experimental into unstable.

Would you consider backporting libmetadata-extractor-java (2.7.2-1) to
jessie-backports too? If possible I'd like to support josm & gpsprune in
jessie-backports.

Kind Regards,

Bas
