  * Package name    : unity-java
    Version         : 1.1b
    Upstream Author : Norman Gray
  * URL             : https://purl.org/nxg/dist/unity
  * License         : BSD-2-Clause
    Programming Lang: Java
    Description     : Multi-syntax unit parsing

The library was written with the following goals:

* Producing formal grammars of the existing and proposed standard unit
   syntaxes, for reference purposes.

* Producing parsing libraries which are fast and standalone, and so
   could be conveniently used by other software; this also acts as an
   implementation of the VOUnits standard.

It is not a goal for this library to do any processing of the resulting
units, such as unit conversion or arithmetic. Parsing unit strings isn't
a deep or particularly interesting problem, but it's more fiddly than
one might expect, and so it's useful for it to be done properly once.

The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro team. It is a new
dependency of the starjava packages.

A git repository will be created at

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-astro-team/unity-java

Best regards

Ole
