the new version of FreeMind is coming with a whole lot of pre-compiled libraries (jar files to be precise).

Is it acceptable to keep the pre-compiled libraries as part of the freemind package until someone creates these packages?
No, sorry. This would violate DFSG 2 ("The program must include source code"). It would also prevent the security team from easily patching those libraries.
Which is to say, that it's allowed, but such a package cannot go to main.
