Bug#874662: FTBFS with Java 9: javax.xml.bind

[Chris West]

Source: libxmlrpc3-java
Version: 3.1.3-8
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

Specifically, the section on javax.xml.bind is relevant here. We don't
have a good solution, at the time of writing; check the wiki for new
info.

Build log:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.10.4:jar (default-cli) on project xmlrpc-common: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc: 
[ERROR] Exit code: 1 - /build/libxmlrpc3-java-3.1.3/common/src/main/java/org/apache/xmlrpc/jaxb/JaxbParser.java:21: error: package javax.xml.bind is not visible

Cheers,
Chris.
