[Jim Procter]

Hi Afif, Tim.

Have you contacted the team at Sanger developing Artemis ? They are 
almost certainly happy to help out with any upstream issues you might have.

:q  - Jalview's .deb needs a refresh too - our recent release has whole 
new set of headaches, so I'm interested in hearing the latest with this.

you might find Tablet falls into non-free.

mvn. {wails}.. probably non-free too.

There should be significant interest from other deb/foss-sci in 
packaging RStudio. No clue as to their build system.

mvn build. probably non-free due to the heavy jar dependency overhead.

I should probably go check the jpkg list now to see what's changed... 
but Tim - has anything advanced re maven based builds ? Are they still 
as painful to work with as they were in 2014 ?
