Bug#1012070: simple-xml: FTBFS with OpenJDK 17 due to an illegal reflective access during the tests

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Source: simple-xml
Version: 2.7.1-3
Severity: important

Usertags: default-java17


simple-xml fails to build with OpenJDK 17 due to a test failure. The cause isn't explicit
in the log, but the JUnit report (report/TEST-org.simpleframework.xml.core.MixTest.txt)
leads to an illegal reflective access:


  Testsuite: org.simpleframework.xml.core.MixTest
  Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.067 sec
  
  Testcase: testMix took 0.061 sec
          Caused an ERROR
