I kept java related packages that could be out! No one uses them anymore?

| freetds-jdbc -- Pure Java JDBC driver for MS SQL and Sybase [#117543]
|   * Orphaned 529 days ago
[...]
| ibm-jdk1.1-installer -- An Installer for IBM Developer Kit for Linux [#141521]
|   * Orphaned 369 days ago
[...]
| jikespg -- Jikes Parser Generator [#123520]
|   * Orphaned 485 days ago
[...]
| tya -- JIT-compiler for Java [#90313]
|   * Orphaned 752 days ago

[...]
| # The rules:
| #   * All packages orphaned less than 90 days ago will be kept!
| #   * Ignore all bugs less than 30 days old.
| # otherwise:
| #   * Packages with RC bugs will be removed.
| #   * Packages orphaned 180 days ago and with NMUed RC bugs will be removed.
| #   * Packages orphaned with a Standards-Version less than 3.0 (which
| #     would be a RC bug anyway) will be removed.
| #   * Packages orphaned more than 360 days ago will be removed in any case.
