Brian,

I did a little work updating rosjava a little while ago, and use it  
frequently. I am listed as the current maintainer, I think. I can  
handle patches like this if you like, but I am currently out of town  
and away from my computer until Friday.

Brett, if you send me a patch, I can take care of it on Friday.
