Can we RM this package?

It fails to build on Java 9.

It has been abandoned by upstream in 2012, as Java 7 provides the
functionality without all the hacks.

It has one rdep: eclipse-pydev, which uses it only at build time, for a
single test, I believe. eclipse-pydev-data seems to be ending up with
it as an actual depends, but I hope that's a bug.

Chris.
