As an example of the sorry state of the Java SIG, pdfbox and batik were
orphaned 2 weeks ago, but those are dependencies of fop, which is a
dependency of publican, which is used by appstream to build documentation,
and half of the distribution (including the entire KF5 stack, through extra-
cmake-modules) depends on appstream.
Java is not an isolated island (despite its name ;-) ). Most Java stuff can
be done without (and upstream JARs used instead), but the dependencies of
non-Java packages MUST be taken care of by somebody.
