Bug#896438: javahelper: java-vars.mk is not compatible with Java 9 directory layout

[Mike Miller]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.63
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The make variables provided by java-vars.mk, specifically JVM_CLIENT_DIR
and JVM_SERVER_DIR, are not compatible with the directory layout used by
Java 9 and newer. The variables always evaluate to an empty string. The
architecture is no longer a component in the file path.
