I think that this would be a great contribution. At the moment, we have
patches which are just sitting there; not being a regular java developer any
more, I don't have time to keep up with them, so JDEE is not usuable for me.
If we can get this into a SVN/CVS that is updatable this will make an
enormous difference.
