Could you please try to build with one of the other java compilers and remove the jikes build-depends? I've tried it with openjdk-6-jdk and it seems to work fairly well but does still have some issues. Thank you, Barry deFreese Debian QA I'm certainly fine with that. Any comment from the Java Maintainers? I'm happy to file the RM: if you would like.
