Bug#893244: jruby FTBFS with openjdk-9

[Markus Koschany]

JRuby is a mess. I guess we "just" need to package the latest upstream
release to fix the FTBFS bugs. Nobody felt like doing that in the past
twelve months, so I think it is unrealistic to believe we can make it
happen within one week. Of course if the release team can be convinced
to accept a new upstream release there might be additional time left.


In case a new upstream release or a similar patch won't happen in time,
here is the list of reverse-dependencies:

reverse-depends -b jruby

Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep
===========================
* libspring-java
* mustache-java

Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* jruby-maven-plugins
* jruby-openssl
* libfreemarker-java
* ruby-psych
* yecht

I presume every package with "ruby" would be expendable. The rest needs
a closer look but I hope jruby is always optional.

Markus
