Bug#873643: FTBFS with Java 9: removed class

[Chris West]

Source: libcodemodel-java
Version: 2.6
Severity: normal
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java9
Tags: fixed-upstream

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk.
The wiki has some common problems and their solutions:
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls

It uses a class which has been "removed" in Java 9.
Upstream removed the reference to this class in 2013:
https://github.com/javaee/jaxb-codemodel/commit/03c826c

Please package a new version, or backport the fix.



Build log:

Cheers,
