Actually, no, it won't really help that particular problem.

There's a fundamental mismatch now that libgtk-java, libgnome-java,
libglade-java and libgconf-java are released independently. The fact
that they are in CVS under the module java-gnome doesn't matter -
specifically the presence of java-gnome/anything doesn't help because
that doesn't make it into the release tarballs.

As the decision to split things up like this is from before my time, I
presume that people took this sort of thing into account. What you
created will certainly help people who are developing out of CVS,
though, which is nice.

[In the case of Gentoo's java-gnome task ebuild, I do the kludge of
unpacking the source balls and then running javadoc over them manually -
precisely *because* lib*java are released individually and aren't
released as a single tree anymore. <shrug> It's no matter now, and it
works fine. I've done the work to make the individual packages, and
created the java-gnome task ebuild to bring in the individual lib*-java
packages as dependencies. I presume other distros are going to do
similar]

Good show!
