Bug#757624: bcel: Upgrade to the version 6.0 to support Java 8

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Source: bcel
Version: 5.2-10
Severity: important
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: openjdk-8-transition

BCEL 5.2 doesn't support Java 8, this causes a build failure on the ha-jdbc
and libjibx1.1-java packages with OpenJDK 8. The error looks like this:

Upgrading BCEL to the upcoming version 6.0 will fix these issues.
