Well, licencing is no longer an issue for jbiswatcher..
But the source include some binary material that needed to be replaced by 
source.

I have managed to remove some part that were not necessary, but there is still 
a Regex class that is needed.

Big issue there is that while the author of the class, located there:
http://www.javaregex.com/
claims that the licence is the Lesser Gnu Public License, the source lacks 
some classes source, in particular in some Unicode*.class
See http://www.javaregex.com/binaries/patbinfree153.jar 
and http://www.javaregex.com/binaries/patsrcfree153.jar

So there is two options: those missing sources are somewhere under a 
compatible licence, and we can follow, or they are taken from a non-free java 
project, and the licencing is invaling and we are stuck..

I have mailed the author of the Regex classes about this issue, but did not 
get any answer yet..
