Bug#875365: FTBFS with Java 9: sun.misc

[Chris West]

Source: glassfish
Version: 2.1.1-b31g+dfsg1
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

This is probably only the first problem; glassfish is a complex piece of
software, and the version we have here is horribly outdated; 5.0 is
about to be released.

The offending class is fixed upstream, but I can't trace the history to
when it was actually fixed.

Build log:

   [javac] /build/glassfish-2.1.1-b31g+dfsg1/appserv-api/src/java/com/sun/appserv/management/client/prefs/MemoryHashLoginInfoStore.java:53: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac] import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
    [javac]                ^
    [javac]   symbol:   class BASE64Decoder

    [javac] import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;
