The Serp project on SourceForge appears to be dead, a backup copy of that code, as of 11.23.2016, is at:
https://github.com/janetizzy/serp
And it appears to be updated for Java8 (which is what firmware 5.8.x is using).
The initial goal of re-opening this dead project:
Note 1:
I haven't coded anything in Java for 20 years, help will be require from current Java coders or this project will remain dead. :D
Note 2 (5.8.5 built for the KT3):
Note 3 (procyon-decompiler-0.5.30.jar renamed to procyon.jar and placed in */esys (our extension system's directory) ):
The procyon decompiler, version 0.5.30 requires Java-7 or later to run, so this isn't much of a test, but:
Hey! If you don't have a Kindle to run these tools on, why are you doing this? :D
More bits and pieces to come as I gather them together.

And it appears to be updated for Java8 (which is what firmware 5.8.x is using).
The initial goal of re-opening this dead project:
- Update the patching classloader for the 5.8 series firmware, if required (it may not require any changes - not yet tested).
- Update the margins patch.
- Create a patch to take control of OTA updater, once and forever.
(Mostly because 5.8.5 can **almost** defeat our current OTA blocker.)
