Java library license problem



Hello,

I am trying to package bluej [1], a Java program, but I think there is a license problem. 
This program uses a library that is not free (AppleJavaExtensions.jar). Apparently, the use of this library is only to build the MacOS version of the program. I think I could change the upstream source and achieve that the software won't be dependent on this library (now it is). But I don't know if it's worth to do it...

Otherwise, the upstream source (orig.tar.gz) would include all this non-free software.

Could this package be in main archive area or will it be considered as a non-free software, although I make this changes? If it is considered as non-free software, I'm not interested in packaging it...

What do you do in this cases? What do you recommend?
