Request for comments (before I file a RFS)
NanoXML is a (actually more than one) small XML parser for Java.
Provides the Java packages net.n3.nanoxml.*, net.n3.nanoxml.sax.* and
nanoxml.* in different jars. I have packaged it since it is a
dependency for Knoplerfish (an OSGI implementation that I hope to
package for Debian)
I have a few questions I hope someone can answer:
Should I install the examples? In that case, should they be in doc?
Should I run the tests during the build?
Some small xml files has no license statement. Does that mean that I
remove them?
(If you have time to take a look at the package:) Are there things in
it that I should improve? Have I made any mistakes? This is the first
Debian package I have made from scratch, so I would appreciate the
feedback.
Is now the time to start looking for a sponsor?
The package (everything in a tarball) can be downloaded from

"Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been
seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed
from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what
ought to be done, will rather bring about his own ruin than his
preservation." (quote Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince)
