I'd prefer if this tool were committed directly to GNU Classpath CVS.
It's much more convenient for bundlers of GNU Classpath (GCJ, Kaffe) if
the tools sources are right in cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/classpath.
It means that we can do one source drop (GNU Classpath) instead of two
(GNU Classpath + cp-tools) and it will likely mean everyone will just
use the Classpath tools rather than everyone writing their own (e.g.
fastjar vs. jar).  In fact, long term, I'd rather see all of the tools
in cp-tools merged into cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/classpath and used
by all bundlers of GNU Classpath.  Toward that end, I plan to propose
merging gcjappletviewer into GNU Classpath once the security work is
done.
