Hi Andreas,

it is just that problem solved or not, I did not manage to go further.

I spent tens of hours on this package, and still from one work session to the
other, I do not remember or understand what I did for making the package build,
and I what I concretely need to do to make it uploadable.  Worse, a fresh git
clone fails to build.  I think that my understanding on how java packages work
is too low, and I am not sure I want to invest the time learning it.  I already
have so many other packages to work on...

Cheers
