I realize that this is more of a tangent than being directly related to the
immediate topic, but here goes:

At present I have two tools available to me to generate EPICS databases: CapFast

(and it's associated translators) and GDCT, which has a few fatal flaws and
whose author has left the land of EPICS. I propose creating a GDCT-like tool in
Java. I intend to do this as low-priority, learning experience with Java. Is
there anyone out there who :

1)    has already begun such a project
2)    is also thinking about such a project
3)    interested in such a project.

Thanks
Russ
