Package: xerces-j
Version: 1.4.4-4
Severity: important

Hi,

jikes is orphaned, unmaintained, and buggy and therefore we are trying
to remove it from the archive.  xerces-j currently
build-depends on jikes.  Could you please try to build with one of the
other java compilers and remove the jikes build-depends?  I've tried it 
with openjdk-6-jdk and it seems to work fairly well but does still have 
some issues.

Thank you,
