Hi,

The relevant error message is the one shown above.

I suspect this failure is because IcedTea 1.8.2 got more
strict with type inference and generics code. I say this
since I can rebuild this package without problems with
1.8.1. Thus, this FTBFS is present in sid and squeeze.

This bug seems to be very similar to #602362.
The problematic code involves the usage of Java generics and
since I'm not very experienced with that kind of code I'm
asking for help.

Additionaly, the patch debian-changes-3.5.4.Final-4 included
in the last upload seems incorrect to me. It reverts many
changes introduced in 3.5.4 to 3.5.2. I think this mistake
is due the upstream branch of the git repo where this
package is maintained is outdated.

Cheers,


PS: After squeeze it should be checked why so many unit
tests are failing during the build.
