There are people who can do this much quicker than me.
For two reasons:

1. You are the one who initially wanted it, and who developed it. You're right that you're probably not the only one interested in it, but still: it's "your" product, not mine or anybody else's

2. For the same reason that I also helped you with a few hints, yet essentially pushed you to actually do it yourself:
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Or, in other words: because afterwards, you will also know how to create update packages for the Kindle, and will be able to help others with this knowledge.

PS: Update packages have nothing to do with Java, they're essentially plain shell scripts. And creating them is pretty simple.
