Follow-up Comment #2, task #10620 (project administration):
> I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah
Thank you very much.

No problem.
> There is no README file in the top level.
Fixed.
> The recommended way of dealing with this situation is adding a
> line to a README file which lists for every binary file the
> name, author and license.
(Hopefully) fixed.

imedias is a section of an institute of the University of Applied Science
Northwestern Switzerland and I am an employee of imedias.

Done by adding a link to the German translation.

This is not a runtime dependency but only a testing dependency. Jemmy (see
https://jemmy.dev.java.net) is licensed under the CDDL (see
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php).
> There is also libs/javaws.jar,
This is the Java Web Start library (see
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/javawebstart-136408.html).

This library is also part of the OpenJDK, which is free software, so I
assumed it was OK to include it in the project for convenience. But I have now
removed it from the project and replaced it with a link to the library of the
respective Java Runtime on the local machine.
> Could you upload an updated tarball
I have put the updated tarball on our own server this time:
http://www.imedias.ch/dateien/jbackpack_0.9-1.tar.gz
Thanks!
