Hay @jjb777 - No problem :P The Steem source code is still the most accurate documentation :D
If I have time I'll check out steemj and give it a try.
That would be really great! Even if you do not have the time to work on the task described in this post, any kind of feedback is really great :)
Why is there eu.bittrade in ur artifact pom?
To push artifacts to the central maven repository you need to own a domain and the bittrade.eu domain is one domain I own.
Are you doing this for a trading company?
Sadly no :P Me and some colleagues had the idea of a "social trading" plattform and started to buy domains and to develop the tools. Sadly, we did not had enough time next to our real jobs to finish that project so the domain and some servers are the only things left from bittrade.eu.
