Bug#875584: FTBFS with Java 9: can't find jdk

[Chris West]

Source: jhdf
Version: 2.11.0+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java9

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk.
Please fix it, so that we can start the transition to Java 9.
The wiki has some common problems and their solutions:

Build log:

checking HDF4to5 library... no
checking jni.h usability... yes
checking jni.h presence... yes
checking for jni.h... yes
configure: error: cannot find jdk classes in JDK lib path.
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk:44: recipe for target 'debian/stamp-autotools' failed
