Hi,

sounds to me that the best resolution would be to remove xerces-j as well: no software depends on it (says 'apt-cache showpkg'), and it's been superseded by xerces2 since ages (also upstream).

I'm no DD but let me know if I can help.

Hi,

jikes is orphaned, unmaintained, and buggy and therefore we are trying
to remove it from the archive.  xerces-j currently
build-depends on jikes.  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,
