Right. Apparently one of my chroots was not properly updated. This issue
is related to openjdk-9 bug

https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8186841

However they only consider the error handling of javadoc a bug (not
exiting gracefully), the "bad class file" is another story.

AFAICS osgi-foundation-ee uses identical class names and the same
namespace as several classes in the java.base module (src/java/util) and
OpenJDK 9 does not like that. Maybe --add-modules java.base might work
in this case?

We could also do the following. The only reverse-dependency of this
package is osgi-compendium. It appears it requires only some specific
class files to build correctly (namely javax.microedition.io.*" If this
is true we could move those classes into osgi-compendium and remove
osgi-foundation-ee from Debian. One package less to support.
