[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#982045: libssw: FTBFS with OpenJDK 17 due to unsupported javac source/target level 6

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Source: libssw
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs sid bookworm
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java17

libssw fails to build with OpenJDK 17 because it invokes javac with
the source/target options set to 6. Since OpenJDK 12 the minimum
version supported is 7.


  javac -target 1.6 -source 1.6 ssw/Aligner.java
  javac -target 1.6 -source 1.6 ssw/Alignment.java
  warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 6
  error: Source option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
  error: Target option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
