Bug#899183: submit at bugs.debian.org

[Martin Kittel]

Package: libpdfbox2-java
Version: 2.0.9-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I get the exception below when running my Java program using
libpdfbox2-java. I tried running the program with different
JREs (down to 1.7) but the error persists. I guess the problem is
that libpdfbox2-java is compiled using Java 9. Java 9 seems to
introduce a change that breaks things even when running with
older JREs:

    'because in JDK9 ByteBuffer.flip() returns a ByteBuffer... It
     used to return a Buffer in JDK8.'
    (see https://github.com/plasma-umass/doppio/issues/497 also
    for suggestions on how to fix this at build time)

I downloaded the official jar
(http://www-us.apache.org/dist/pdfbox/2.0.9/fontbox-2.0.9.jar) and with
that one I don't see the problem.
