It works so well that it doesn't require maintenance! (just joking).

It still works great, but Java applets are less popular these days
than dynamic HTML, AJAX stuff. Steve Lime has a dBox that is very
similar to jBox, but based on dynamic HTML rather than Java. And
OpenLayers is excellent, along with many others.
