Bug#875357: FTBFS with Java 9: sun..spi removed

[Chris West]

Source: dnsjava
Version: 2.1.8
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:

I raised this upstream, as the feature here is just gone:
https://sourceforge.net/p/dnsjava/feature-requests/24/

Build log:
