That's very good news!!!

I'd suggest a get-orig-source script. I found out that when using "svn
export" you get original file time stamps which I personally consider
interesting information. I have no idea whether cvs provides a similar
functionality.

I'd say whatever leads flawlessly to the final goal to get mtj.jar
packaged. It might be of academical interest to base the build process
on the maintained Debian packaged code, however, I'm afraid this might
create a lot of extra work which is not rewarded by the final use case
as the users of the original mtj.jar never cared about this.

Sounds less hard to do once 1) is solved.

Sounds also not that hard once 1) and 2) is finished.
Kudos to your work on this
