Bug#893098: axis FTBFS with openjdk-9

Tue Mar 20 22:13:13 UTC 2018

I got a quick look, the source encoding is easily fixed and the
org.apache.axis.enum was long deprecated and can be removed. But there
is more than that. Axis implements interfaces from javax.xml.soap that
were upgraded in Java 9, so Axis now fails to build due to missing
method implementations. I wonder if it's really worth upgrading Axis, or
if we should try to remove it.
