Any plans to implement getBlockTemplate?

[jrgensol]

I'm having problems finding a java library that is easy to use to connect to the bitcoin core api. Finally found this, but I need the getBlockTemplate function. Are there any plans to implement it, or do I have to keep looking?

No plan, but PR are welcome

your help would be appreciated.
this is my code
private static final BitcoinJSONRPCClient bitcoin = new BitcoinJSONRPCClient();
String temp = bitcoin.getBlockTemplate("{"capabilities": ["coinbasetxn", "workid", "coinbase/append"]}");
and
BitcoinJSONRPCClient .java has this:
//getBlockTemplate
public String getBlockTemplate (String param) {
return (String) query("getblocktemplate", param);
}
but i get this error
RPC Query Failed (method: getblocktemplate, params: [{"capabilities": ["coinbasetxn", "workid", "coinbase/append"]}], response code: 500 responseMessage Internal Server Error, response: {"result":null,"error":{"code":-1,"message":"JSON value is not an object as expected"},"id":"1"}

how to fix the query?
Thanks
