There was a regression that broke the library somewhere along the way and I have only done some of the work needed to restore it. What state must the library maintain to keep it in the code base? If the bar is relatively low, I should be able to fix things over the next month or two. If you are really only interested in libraries that aim to reach full supported (4 star) status, you might as well kill it because it isn't going to happen, at least by me. Please let me know what is needed so that I can determine whether I can make a suitable commitment.

If you have interest that should be good enough. Update the pom.xml to list your name etc.... The module is in unsupported so we are not looking for four stars - only a hint that it is useful enough that a volunteer wants is willing to make sure it compiles and passes tests. You can review the developers guide section on unsupported modules if you would like more info.

I think we can keep them around as long as there is anyone with a scrap of interest and will to take responsibility for the module. My personal opinion is that your commitment should be good enough to at least keep the module around in unsupported land.
