Yes, we had a general aim of dropping apps from the official JDS  
release that we weren't going to fully support, and that covered most  
of what we shipped in JDS Linux as "sample" Java apps-- jdictionary  
being one of them.  Given that leaves us with no dictionary  
application at all though (unless we finally fix gnome-dictionary),  
it might well be something we want to revisit.

Cheeri,
Calum.
