Bug#874630: FTBFS with Java 9: javax.activation

[Chris West]

Source: libaxiom-java
Version: 1.2.8
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, including this
javax.activation change. No solution, as of today, though!
