Cyanogen mod system apps updater

Im working on a simple java program to create update.zip files with apps you choose in it.

Hopefully it will work simply by downloading the apps on the market onto your phone, plug your phone in and run my app this will create a flashable update.zip file that will move the apps from the /data partition to the /system saving you space for more apps. This will be a shell/command line based program.

I'm going to try and get this working on linux first, see how it goes. It will be a hacky way of doing things as I'm going to have to used the android SDK ADB tool via java.

This will be my first real attempt at a java program so it could take a while. This is a personal project just for the sake of learning java but if you are interested in it please let me know.
