Hi,

I'd like to transition json-simple 3.1.1 to unstable, but netbeans is a blocker since it builds against libjson-simple-java << 3 only.

The json-simple classes used by netbeans were deprecated in version 2.0.0 [1]. There were removed in versions 3.x [2].

[1] https://github.com/cliftonlabs/json-simple/blob/json-simple-2.0.0/README.txt
[2] https://github.com/cliftonlabs/json-simple/blob/json-simple-3.0.1/CHANGELOG

Please find attached a patch proposal to use the current json-simple classes. I've tested that the package builds correctly against libjson-simple-java version 2.3.0-1 from unstable and version 3.1.1-1~exp2 currently in experimental. But I don't known how to test the package afterward.

Because this is a huge patch it may have errors, but they should be easy to fix once discovered. Please do not hesitate to ping me in case of broken tests.

Once this cleared, this patch should be push upstream. They can't keep going using this deprecated json-simple 1.x API.

Thanks in advance for considering.
