I have a manpage ready, attaching it to this bugreport.

Ok, I didn't know about the eclipse fork of jtb.

Yes, I agree.

Ah :)

<sarcasm>Where's the pkg-java team, in all this? :)</sarcasm>

(yes, I need javacc-maven-plugin too, which is blocking one RFP from me, which
blocks another ITP from me, blocking yet-another-ITP from me, blocking the
original bug in my package. Madness.)

It's a small package (at least the 1.3.2 one, I don't know anything about
Eclipse), so I believe co-maintainance is not necessary. OTOH, someone from
pkg-java should really take it.

That's great!
