Bug#504664: libmx4j-java: Invalid META-INF/services/ configuration files

[Damien Raude-Morvan]

Package: libmx4j-java
Version: 3.0.2-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

I've noticed that 2 files in META-INF/services/ of mx4j-tools.jar contains 
lines for classes not included in Debian's MX4J.

Some tools (for instance, Spring Framework) automaticaly try to load all 
classes defined in
    META-INF/services/javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorProvider
and
    META-INF/services/javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorServerProvider
by using Java SPI provider [1].

Please find my small patch to remove invalids lines from thoses files attached.
