Bug#874636: RM? FTBFS with Java 9, no rdeps, dead upstream (2004)

[Chris West]

Source: libgroboutils-java
Version: 5
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-java at lists.debian.org
Usertags: default-java9

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk,
although it would probably be trivial to fix.
The wiki has some common problems and their solutions:
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls

I cannot see any rdeps in sid for this library package.

Upstream seems to have been dead since 2004, there have been no
releases. There is a related project, which saw commits in 2014, but no
releases.
