Hi Java Team, i'm maintaining the MediathekView package for Debian. The developers of this Java application have decided to work with the jide-oss [1] library which hasn't been packaged yet. I have already prepared a Debian package for jide-oss [2] and i intend to file an ITP bug report within the next few days. Although i'm willing to maintain the package myself, i figured a java library would be better off in a dedicated team and i also prefer team maintained packages. So if you are interested in it, i would happily put the package under the umbrella of the Java Team. I saw that Andreas Tille brought this topic up for discussion two years ago because he wanted to free the igv package. I think i have managed to create a DFSG free jide-oss package, the license is GPL-2 with classpath exception, and it builds fine without the Apple laf classes. Probably more packages could benefit from the jide-oss package and convenience copies could be removed. Please let me know if you think jide-oss can be integrated in your team. Every other feedback is also much appreciated.
