Moving to sourceforge Was: Re: jde-import-kill-extra-imports not working

I'd like to see movement as well, but Paul K. is still running the
show and we still haven't heard from him.  In all fairness, relatively
speaking, it hasn't been all _that_ and since we have heard last from
him.  We owe it to him to hear what he has say before doing anything
just yet.

We're all anxious to get the outstanding patches in, but we've all
managed to continue using the tool as it is in its current state and I
think it would be good to hear what he'd like to do in terms of the
direction of the project.
