You pointed us to the metada-extractor version you use.
I'll check your additions and package your version as a new metadata-extractor 
package.

As I packaged the metadata-extractor package I know it need some addtional 
patching to be used with openjdk instead of sun-java.

If it doesn't break other packages: fine, if it does, I'll create a second 
metadata-extractor package (wth a different version number).
In both cases we follow the packaging rules for the distrbution. Its the same 
with real natve libraries in dfferent versions. Native libs use SO-names, 
java can distinct those dfferent jars wth the classpath property.

The goal to reach: a fully compiled Jalbum and all used 3rd party jars as 
seperate packages.
