Doesn't Java have a Base64 class in its standard library since Java 8?
Apologies if I remember wrong since I'm not doing any Java anymore and
haven't for years now, but the java-base64 could go away if dependent
upstreams used the built-in codec. My understanding is that it would
be the package maintainers' responsibility to bring this up, potentially
with patches, but it is also my understanding that we are dearly missing
maintainers in this area...
Absolutely correct. Unfortunately Java ecosystem is full with tons of archaic deps lingering around and not many people trying to clear things. Many of us who did packaging found out that it's more beneficial to devote all energy to bringing some sanity in upstreams which left the whole in the packaging world we are seeing now.
My 2 cents
