Good point. As far as I know, most people don't install the bindings, so that 
could be a problem.

What about porting it to C++? Shouldn't be too hard...

Is there a special reason you used the GNU Regexp Java package instead of QT 
regex? And the ORO Inc. NetComponents package instead of KDE's functionality 
like the ftp ioslave? The problem I see here is, that your (very nice) app 
introduces quite a lot of dependencies and we'd force KDE users to resolve 
these...

PS: Your tool is not yet listed on http://apps.kde.com - what about adding it 
there?
