Bug#873221: FTBFS with Java 9 due to Terrible Swing

Source: jajuk
Version: 1.10.9+dfsg2
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/jajuk-1.10.9+dfsg2/src/main/java/org/jajuk/ui/views/FilesTreeView.java:705: error: incompatible types: Enumeration<TreeNode> cannot be converted to Enumeration<DefaultMutableTreeNode>
    [javac]             .depthFirstEnumeration();


Cheers,
Chris.
