Hey Stefan,

as you probably have noticed, i'm not contributing a lot for the last 2
years. Unfortunately my work took me to another place with other coding
priorities, and i don't even do java anymore. I won't have time to work on
that module, and if not used, i guess i'm fine EOLing it.

Is there a ceremony or something ;) ?
