Hi,

I have pushed the latest upstream version including the proposed fix of
the Build-Depends to default-jdk to Git[1].  Unfortunately when trying
to build the package I get lots of errors, starting with:

...

I admit I do not have the slightest idea what to do next. :-(

Any help would be appreciated
