+Title: What's new since Jessie?
+Date: 2016-04-28
+Author: Emmanuel Bourg
+Status: draft
+
+Jessie was released one year ago now and the Java Team has been busy preparing
+the next release. Here is a quick summary of the current state of the Java packages :
+
+ * OpenJDK 8 is now the default Java runtime in testing/unstable. OpenJDK 7
+   has been removed, as well as several packages that couldn't be upgraded
+   to work with OpenJDK 8 (avian, eclipse).
+ * OpenJDK 9 is available in experimental. For the reminder it won't be part
+   of the next release, OpenJDK 8 will be the only Java runtime supported
+   for Stretch.
+ * Netbeans didn't make it in Jessie, but it is now back and up to date.
+ * The main build tools are close to their latest upstream releases, especially
+   Maven and Gradle which were seriously lagging behind.
+ * Scala has been upgraded to the version 2.11. We are looking for Scala experts
+   to maintain the package and its dependencies.
+ * Freemind has been removed due to lack of maintenance, Freeplane is recommended instead.
+ * The [reproducibility](https://reproducible.debian.net/unstable/amd64/pkg_set_maint_pkg-java-maintainers.html)
+   rate has greatly improved, climbing from 50% to 75% over a year.
+ * Backports are continuously provided for the main applications: OpenJDK 8, OpenJFX,
+   Ant, Maven, Gradle, Tomcat 7 & 8, Jetty 8 & 9, OpenJDK 8, OpenJFX, jEdit.
+ * We have several difficult transitions ahead: BND 3, BouncyCastle 1.54,
+   Tomcat 7 to 8, Jetty 8 to 9, ASM 5, and of course Java 9. Some help would
+   be welcome.
+ * The transition to Maven 3 has been completed and the packages are no longer
+   built with Maven 2.
+ * New packaging tools have been created to work with Gradle (gradle-debian-helper)
+   and Ivy (ivy-debian-helper).
+
