I understand that very well,
the fact is maintaining another binding is time consuming.
However if someone wants to give it a try we will definitely help her/him
to do it with pleasure.

The person will need to acquire some basic knowledge of HLA
(including standard Java API) and part of the internal CERTI internal
messaging.

That's what our student did began to do.

Yes agreed, in fact we need to target the standard Java API from the beginning
and this won't change (at least not until HLA is revised). However it may
be possible to only implement the needed part of the API and let some part
"unimplemented".
