  I haven't made a lot of progresses there. I was planning to have a
look relatively soon.

  About the repository, I think the best is pkg-java, as the skills
required are more on the Java side than on the Biological side - but
please correct me if I'm wrong. The main problem is that it has loads
of dependencies:

12:40 fv@Vncent ~/tmp/jalview find -name '*.jar'
./lib/castor-1.1-cycle-xml.jar
./lib/commons-logging.jar
./lib/commons-discovery.jar
./lib/wsdl4j.jar

./utils/axis-ant.jar

  I'll start to sort it out this week-end. You can join in too, for
instance, to see which of those are really necessary, file ITP, block
this bug by the ITPs (CCing this bug), and package them (and their
dependencies...). I guess the best would be to use this bug
mailing-list for coordination. I think it is possible we can get rid
of the dependencies from the utils/ directory...

  Cheers,
