Sven Herzberg <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Other License: 
Package: eMonkey
System name: emonkey
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

eMonkey will be a GNOME/GTK GUI for the edonkey file-sharing client, which is 
only available (for linux) as a console-client. The GUI will connect to the 
so-called \'client-core\' via TCP. Then it\'s possible to use the edonkey 
file-sharing system in a user-friendly way.

eMonkey will be written in JAVA using the GTK2.0-bindings from 
java-gnome/java-gtk (http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net) in the version of 0.8.x 
(which is not available at present). It is planned to run on a free JAVA 
implementation but it\'s not decided yet, whether this project delivers 
java-bytecode usuable by kaffe (www.kaffe.org) or it delivers native 
\'machine-code\' made by the free gcj since version 3.0 (http://gcc.gnu.org).

There is no source available yet, as the java-bindings and the GTK2.0 libs are 
still developed.
