Bug#819189: libecj-java: new upstream release available and shoud be used by libtomcat8-java

[Xavier POINSARD]

Package: libecj-java
Version: 3.10.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

libtomcat8-java depends on libecj-java to compile jsp pages.
Since tomcat8.0.21, upstream is using 4.4.2 version of libecj.
See this bug report : https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57662
And the reference to it in Tomcat8 changelog : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/changelog.html

Since jessie-backports provides libtomcat8-java version 8.0.32, I would expect jessie-backports to provide an updated version of libecj.

Best regards,
Xavier.
