while not properly documented, we are currently doing a major overhaul 
targeting a new major version OJ2. part of it is a move to git on github.

so the best way to get your changes into OJ2 would be to branch 
https://github.com/openjump-gis/openjump , rebase your changes on it and setup 
a pull request.

please accompany the pull request commit message by a statement verifying that 
you contribute it as licensed under GPLv2, as this is the license OJ is 
distributed with.

also please list which dependencies your modification has (jars) and where and 
under which licenses these are available.

you may find that the github pom is somewhat cleaner and should hopefully not 
point to dead mvn repos anymore.

thanks a bunch.. ede
