Hello,
I don't know any real world application that make use of Java-Gnome stack.
In official site the latest beta was released on 2013, May.
The most notable Java Desktop applications are written with Swing or
SWT. If anyone write a java desktop application normally is because
"portability" (or are completely crazy), and make a glue between Java
and specific desktop API is nonsense IMHO.
I think that libraries can be dropped.

Hello, people.
Need your opinion on the following question.
We currently provide several jni libraries, wrapping
Gnome native libraries -
cairo-java
java-atk-wrapper
libgconf-java
libglade-java
libgnome-java
libgtk-java
glib-java
libvte-java
Most of them are currently not supported upstream:
Last upstream releases:
cairo-java 2007
java-atk-wrapper 2015
libgconf-java 2007
libglade-java 2007
libgnome-java 2007
libgtk-java 2007
glib-java 2007
libvte-java 2007
Should we build them, check that they work with latest libraries and
java 8 or just drop?
I'm inclined to do the later.
If someone knows why we should preserve them, please, speak.
Don't speak about mythical ABI compatibility for unknown applications,
speak about
a) real use cases, which you know;
b) desire to test and support them :)
I'm waiting for your opinions till the weekend.
