scilab fails to build with openjdk-7
apparently this warning in openjdk-6 is an error in 7:

see the failure in ubuntu quantal:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/104403085/buildlog_ubuntu-quantal-amd64.scilab_5.3.3-8_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

a workaround appears to be to build the doc with C.UTF-8:
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/javadoc -noindex
-nohelp -nonavbar -notree -d ./modules/javasci/javadoc -sourcepath
./modules/javasci/src/java:./modules/types/src/java
