Bug#874660: FTBFS with Java 9: sun.misc

[Chris West]

Source: libxbean-java
Version: 4.5
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.
Please fix it, so that we can start the transition to Java 9.
The wiki has some common problems and their solutions:
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls

sun.misc.URLClassPath seems to have been removed.

https://github.com/OpenHFT/Java-Thread-Affinity/issues/37 contains an
example of replacing it with real code.

Build log:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.1:compile (default-compile) on project xbean-classpath: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
