I'll ask Helmut directly (by this CC). In that way I can continue to
build up a working relation with Helmut.

Don't worry about it. We all have time constraints.

I agree with you and would even go farther. It would be very nice to

Since OMI already has a CP->Java converter (not for public release) this
should be do able.
