I'd also add (although irrelevant now) if a package is out of date and you wanted it updated just flag it. I get emails for that. The package is itself stupid simple and ideally would be updated as part of the build. I meant to get get a cron setup that did it by polling the release page but the project I was working on got killed :)

Done.

Hey, yes it would awesome to added as a maintainer here. This package is quite out of date and we releasing 4.3.0 shortly.

AUR pacakges are for stable, numbered releases. If you want people to use a prerelease I'd recommend putting together a -git package. I'm also not really using web3j too much at the moment so if you want to be added as a maintainer or even take ownership of the package I'd be happy to give it up.

Also: https://github.com/web3j/web3j/issues/732

We are planning on starting to releasing snapshot and alpha packages for web3j. In fact we are currently on 4.0-alpha https://github.com/web3j/web3j/releases. What is the best way to manage this on aur?

You need at least java 8 to use this library.
