Kaffe compiler transition

[Wolfgang Baer]

Hi all,

you get this mail because your package(s) build-depend on kaffe.

Today a new kaffe release will be uploaded with several changes which might
break your packages build. The noticable change is the change of the build
compiler to ecj (eclipse compiler for java).

I have opened a wiki page to track the transition under:
http://wiki.debian.org/Java/KaffeTransition

I tested every package (excluding pkg-java maintainers packages where I will
take care of) against this new kaffe package for breakage and commented on it
on this wiki page. There is also a section with the most common problems and
how to fix them.

The good news are that only 5 packages (excluding pkg-java maintainers
packages) FTBFS and need a little care. In the next days I will file
bugs against the packages which FTBFS together with a patch.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us under the debian-java
mailinglist or on #debian-java.

Thanks,
Wolfgang
