[Proj4j] Re: Updoming Workn on Proj4J

Wed May 23 13:30:30 EDT 2012

I would LOVE a Maven build of proj4j.  Just saying. :-)   It'd be so 
easy to have builds pushed up to the maven central repository for the 
world to use.

I could probably help out as I've done this type of work a lot.  I can't 
commit to being available to help due to so many other commitments on my 
plate.  I had actually hoped to just provide the patches attached to 
this ticket. http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4j/ticket/18 :-(

Maybe I can try to make some time if other people really want this.
