Hi!

I think it would be easier to inherit from the existing package, right? Why do you need this package at all? I know that mixing JDKs can result in errors if you use a dependency that was built with a more recent JDK that what you use for a package, but the other way around should be fine, no?

What error do you get if you use the existing package?
