Bug#798699: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.File cannot be cast to java.lang.Class

[Emmanuel Fleury]

Package: freecol
Version: 0.10.7+dfsg-3
Severity: important

Just running the software leads to the following Java exception:

$> freecol
Disabling IPV6 network stack to work around bug #560056 on openjdk
If you experience problems with connecting to remote servers,
you can put it back by running Freecol this way:
  freecol --enable-ipv6
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.File
cannot be cast to java.lang.Class
	at org.apache.commons.cli.OptionBuilder.withType(OptionBuilder.java:298)
	at net.sf.freecol.FreeCol.handleArgs(FreeCol.java:338)
	at net.sf.freecol.FreeCol.main(FreeCol.java:150)
^C

The process still hang afterward, I need to press Ctrl-C to stop it.
