[Kde-java] Qt and KDE java package names

[Felix Rodriguez]

Richard,

  I guess if I'm the only one using QtJava, I can always go back and import 
the appropriate packages. I have found creating KDE applications with Java 
much better than using C++. 

I am currently working on a personal finance program for KDE. It's still in 
the early development phase but I think I will have something I can show by 
year's end.
