Be careful if you do - remember once I did that and boxes cracked for doing
so (and the jboss group ended up changing their license anyways...). The
vast majority of "GPL" java projects out there violate the GPL, the FSF is
quite aware of this and choose to ignore it (RMS called java a blight on
the free software wordl) so it is up to you. Depends on how much you want
to use it - it may be worth your time or it may not.
Cheers,
Pete
