Where to find javax.speech?

I am trying to run sphinx4.

When I compiled it, I got the following error:

The import javax.speech cannot be resolved.

I am using the latest j2sdk. So where can I find the package then?

Autoconf in GMTK?

I think it is time to make autoconf work in GMTK. I had a hard time to compile GMTK in AIX. I beleive the best thing to do first is make an autoconf version.

Finished ICASSP paper

Starting new project now. Need to read more references.
