Bug#874631: FTBFS with Java 9: com.sun.tools.javac

[Chris West]

Source: libcommons-jexl2-java
Version: 2.1.1
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.
Please fix it, so that we can start the transition to Java 9.
The wiki has some common problems and their solutions:
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls

The class being used here has long been deprecated, and tools.jar has
finally had its long awaited cleanup. Perhaps move to the Java 7 API?
