This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My project is a tool for Configuration Managers who maintain Java applications. 
One of the big problems in maintaining Java applications in the enterprise is 
the Java classpath. This tool is a way for sysadmins or config managers 
maintain classpaths on servers and to ensure that classpaths are consistent on 
all servers. The tool maintains Java classpaths on servers. The tool has two 
components, a server part and a client part.

Server:
Consists of a service which monitors the filesysytem, always looking for Java 
class files and Java jars. Upon finding new classes/jars, the server portion of 
this system either updates the classpath or notifies a sysadmin that there are 
new Java files which should be included in the system classpath(s). The server 
part could also notify sysadmins that classpaths have been changed by users. 
User defined policies are employed so that sysadmins have control over how the 
server part behaves.Servers could also communicate classpath chages to other 
servers, so that all classpaths in a given environment could be synchronized. 

Client:
The client portion of the system is a GUI that allows sysadmins to query the 
state of classpaths on that server. The client app also allows sysadmins to 
update classpaths. Updates to classpaths can be broadcast to other servers, or 
servers can communicate classpath changes to other servers.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
