Attached is a trivial patch to get glassfish compiling again.  However,
I'm a little concerned about potential runtime effects.  I haven't yet
been able to find a reference to when the JAXPExtensionsProvider
constructor signature changed, although I suspect that it's related to
security.  (That is, secure processing is alway required to be True.)

Does anyone on the Debian Java team have experience with this API change?

(Also, if anyone is planning to upload imminently, please coordinate
with me, as I have a few other minor packaging fixes that I'd like to
push, along with converting the packaging repo over to git.)

Regards,
tony
