Bug#875790: FTBFS with Java 9: configure fails to detect Java

[Chris West]

Source: scilab
Version: 5.5.2-5
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:

The "/jre" part of the install path is gone. Also, many of the libraries
have moved. I'm not sure why configure cares so much about the actual
locations.

Build log:

checking type of jvm... jdk
checking java API version... 1.8
Using the following JNI include flags -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/include -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/include/linux
