Bug#873220: FTBFS with Java 9 due to Terrible Swing

[Chris West]

Source: freeplane
Version: 1.5.18
Severity: normal
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java9

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk.

The awful changes to generics in a couple of Swing classes seem to be
at fault. This probably requires pretty significant code changes to fix.
I recommend taking it up with upstream. See the Swing section on this wiki
page:

Build log:

/build/freeplane-1.5.18/freeplane/src/main/java/org/freeplane/core/resources/components/OptionPanel.java:325: error: incompatible types: Enumeration<TreeNode> cannot be converted to Enumeration<DefaultMutableTreeNode>
		for (final Enumeration<DefaultMutableTreeNode> i = controlsTree.children(); i.hasMoreElements();) {


Cheers,
Chris.
