Source: starjava-util Version: 1.0+2017.03.17 Severity: normal User: debian-j...@lists.debian.org Usertags: default-java9
This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk. The wiki has some common problems and their solutions: https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls The code is using a class which is no longer public, due to having copy- pasted some Java 4 code into their codebase and edit it. It looks like the class may not be relevant on Java >4, and may never have been relevant on anything except Windows, so we may be able to delete it, even if upstream don't. Build log: [javac] /build/starjava-util-1.0+2017.03.17/src/main/uk/ac/starlink/util/gui/BasicFileChooser.java:49: error: package sun.awt.shell is not visible [javac] import sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder; [javac] ^ [javac] (package sun.awt.shell is declared in module java.desktop, which does not export it) Cheers, Chris.
