Yes, it was delayed far too long. I hope it passes through NEW quickly.

I reverted the change I made when Java 8 became default in
Unstable/Testing. Although Java 7 is still pulled in, setting the Java
home to the java 8 installation causes it to be used during build. The
manifest file also specifies Java 8 for runtime, but I'm not sure
whether this will be affected by the switch to Maven. For unrelated
reasons, I haven't been able to get the package to build yet and verify
that the right java version will be used for the installed package.

It seems that a newer version of libguava-java than what is in Jessie is
needed and jessie-backports also looks outdated-- it has v18. The MHAP
pom file specifies v19, the same version as stretch. It looks like the
guava backport needs to be updated first. I'm out of time for now, but
I've pushed my progress


Thanks and regards
Afif
