Bug#873219: FTBFS with Java 9 due to Terrible Swing

[Chris West]

Source: electric
Version: 9.07+dfsg
Severity: normal
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java9

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk.

The awful changes to generics in a couple of Swing classes seem to be
at fault. This probably requires pretty significant code changes to fix.
I recommend taking it up with upstream. See the Swing section on this wiki
page:
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls


Build log:
    [javac] /build/electric-9.07+dfsg/com/sun/electric/tool/user/ui/JobTree.java:58: error: incompatible types: Vector<JobTreeNode> cannot be converted to Vector<TreeNode>
    [javac]         children = jobNodes;

Cheers,
Chris.
