Bug#873308: Please update: FTBFS with Java 9

[Chris West]

Source: rome
Version: 1.0
Severity: normal
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java9
Tags: fixed-upstream

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk.
The wiki has some common problems and their solutions:
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls

This package is very outdated; upstream fixed this problem (by accident)
in ~2014; it's a trivial issue with an import. Updating also fixes the
build system to be good, and lots of other weirdness around packages
that is probably going to be a problem with something Java 9.
