I'm sure you evaluated the JavaClass API
(http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~dahm/JavaClass/), too (which BTW is also
open-source). I can't judge the extent of overlap between the
functionality of that package and your own, but there probably is some.
Was there a particular reason not to collaborate with them, or is their
interface not clean enough?
