I implemented the plan in pkg-java git. The only problem to build the
package is the now missing PrintfFormat.java[1] which now leads to
/usr/bin/javac -source 1.2 -target 1.2 -d obj org/j_paine/formatter/*.java
warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.2

I wonder whether some Java programmer could provide some simple
replacement. If this would be provided I'd upload to experimental first
and let follow the whole chain of dependencies as well to experimental.
The final consumer of all the mess will be the beast-mcmc package and
this one has performance tests that we could run to get a final decision.
Kind regards
Andreas.
