Hi Emmanuel,

I have concluded the only feasible way to get out of this hole with
jruby is to revert yecht its 1.0 behavior. This means to remove
YechtService class from yecht.jar.

I can take care of that.

This way, I can get jruby 1.7.25 building in the archive with
available versions of bnd and maven-bundle-plugin. The remaining hurdle
is to get all its tests passing.

I apologize for basically dropping the ball with jruby maintenance on
this release cycle, but I had too many stuff to deal with in real
life.

My plan here is:

* Hack/patch yecht jar and upload yecht 1.1-2 to get jruby buildable
again.

* Upload jruby 1.7.25-1 to unstable once all tests are passing, to fix
a couple of FTBFS and remaining RC bugs.

* Later (before the freeze), check if it's possible to upload the
latest 1.7.x release (1.7.26).

Unfortunately, this means "stretch" will include a jruby release with
no support from upstream [1].

Cheers,
