Bug#893268: Help needed to build libnanoxml2-java with Java 9 (Was: Intend to take over libjbzip2-java and libnanoxml2-java into Debian Med team)

[Andreas Tille]

Control: tags -1 help

Hi,

as announced below I moved this package to Salsa in Debian Med team
area[1].  I checked the last commit of Chris West but the build time
test is failing.  I made the test output more verbose in another
commit[2].  This leads to

...
cd Test/Lite && \
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/javac -source 1.8 -nowarn -cp .:../../nanoxml-lite.jar `find -iname *.java` && \
for TESTFILE in *.xml; do \
        /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java -cp .:../../nanoxml-lite.jar DumpXML_Lite ${TESTFILE} > ${TESTFILE}.test_out ; \
        if diff -u ${TESTFILE}.out ${TESTFILE}.test_out ; \
        then    echo nanoxml-lite.jar failed ${TESTFILE}; \
                exit 1; \
        fi; \
done
Note: ./DumpXML_Lite.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
nanoxml-lite.jar failed comments.xml


Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix this.  In short:  I'd happily
continue to maintain the package in the Debian Med team since it seems a
bit orphaned in Debian Java team and has only rdepends in Debian Med.
However, in this case I need help from Java experts.  If some volunteer
from Debian Java wants to take over and keep the package in Debian Java
that's perfectly fine for me and we can easily move back to Debian Java
once the packages of this team are moved to salsa.debian.org.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
