The problem the way that i see is that the sources are for the inital
1.4.2 release from sun, since then they are at 1.4.2.06 with many fixes
At least 3 security bugs i can think off(this issue has been ignored in
the past?), and i don't think we have the resources to fix these

Also it has other problems for example with file locking, 
when trying to use eclipse (only one i can think off atm i know has
sereral bugs in bugzilla closed cantfix/wontfix)

Could you make the metadata relfect you're the maintainer? ;-)
