I may take these 4
That would be great :D My package (Tomcat) still uses ant to build, so if you could save it from retirement that would be great. I don't have bandwidth to take on any additional packages right now, but I don't mind being a co-maintainer if you feel you need it.

Eclipse for me may fall, I already use eclipse installer from

I can also take these two jdependency and apache-ivy .
maybe I should also take maven-invoker-plugin .

I've dropped all the direct dependencies that I had which were being orphaned, so the only outstanding problems I have are ant (which may be addressed by Sérgio) and javapackages-tools, which I'm a bit confused about. It seems that the latest build relies on java-11, not java-8 so not sure why it's showing up that way in the dep map. It seems that the map isn't generated often, so maybe it's just outdated?
