Bug#760931: scilab: ftbfs with OpenJDK 8

[Matthias Klose]

Package: src:scilab
Version: 5.5.0-3
Severity: important
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: openjdk-8-transition

The package fails to build in a test rebuild on at least amd64 with
openjdk-8 as the default java version, but succeeds to build with
openjdk-7.

The full build log can be found at:
http://people.debian.org/~doko/logs/java8-20140908/logs-failed-ref/scilab_5.5.0-3_unstable_ref.log
The last lines of the build log are at the end of this report.

To build with openjdk-8 explicitly, install the openjdk-8-jdk package
from experimental,

  apt-get -t experimental install g++ 

and install the default-jdk package from

  deb https://people.debian.org/~doko/tmp/20140820 ./
