Note that several Java clients for Freeciv are mentioned in the projects
section, but they are not active.

Put it into ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv/incoming and send mail
to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and/or the freeciv-data mailing list.

Many users think the Freeciv distribution is too big.
This is the reason we can't distribute all tilesets with it -
it would grow even bigger.  But if we split up the distribution
into parts that are easy to use separately or in combination,
your tileset can have the same status as the standard ones:
and optional part of the distribution.
