 Cool! I was beginning to think about hijacking it.

 Sure, it looks OK. Still, there's some things to fix. Why do you use
Java 6? Java 7 is in Debian now, see the openjdk-7-jre package.
Copyright format is now official, please use its format line[1].
BSD-2 license text lines are too long, please use a 80 chars width one.
It would be nice to 'beautify' debian/rules . The second line can show
the file format if set to: '# -*- makefile -*-'. Override targets should
be listed in the '.PHONY: ...' line at the end.
The debian/watch is essentially empty, delete it or make use of it.
Worst is that JMapViewer_Demo.jar is empty, contains only MANIFEST.MF .
Is it an upstream build problem?

Cheers,
Laszlo/GCS
