I agree, I've requested the removal of uddi4j and wsil4j.

The two eclipse packages have now been removed.
jalview uses Axis for the javax.xml.rpc API. It can probably use
libjaxrpc-api-java instead.

I got a quick look. starjava-vo builds fine without axis. I've found
only one class with SOAP related code (Ri1RegistryQuery) and it calls
the SoapClient class from starjava-registry [1]. Axis isn't used for
this client implementation as explained in the source file:
/**
* Lightweight, freestanding SOAP client which can make simple requests
* and allows the responses to be processed as a SAX stream.
* Logging of sent and received XML can optionally be performed by
* using the {@link #setEchoStream} method.
* Probably, there is much of SOAP that this doesn't implement, but
* it works well enough to write a registry client on top of it.
*
* Why write yet another SOAP client? Last time I tried to get Axis
* to do this (stream processing of the response) it took me several
* days of misery, and still didn't work. The actual job I need to
* do here is quite straightforward, so it's not difficult to write it
* from scratch.

So I think it's safe to remove the axis dependency in this case.

uima-as builds fine without libuima-adapter-soap-java, so we can scrap it.

Bug#911187: axis: FTBFS with Java 11 due to javax.rmi and CORBA removal
I was investigating the Java 11 FTBFS of axis and uddi4j. I wonder if we rather should focus on removing these packages instead of patching them. Axis has seen its last release in 2006. AFAIK Apache CXF would be a better alternative because it is actively maintained. Unfortunately it is not available in Debian. Looking at the reverse build-dependencies of axis: Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep === * starjava-vo * starjava-votable * uimaj Reverse-Build-Depends = * eclipse-mylyn * eclipse-wtp * jalview * jets3t * jglobus * uddi4j eclipse-* packages can be ignored and jalview has been RC buggy for a long time. uddi4j can go as well and it only has eclipse-wtp and wsil4j as r-deps. Thus the remaining packages would be: * starjava-vo * starjava-votable * uimaj * jets3t * jglobus jglobus just seems to build an axis module and a binary package without any r-deps, so it could be removed I guess. The jets3t version in Debian is very old but the latest one is also from 2015, so I doubt it has been fixed upstream. I don't see any code in starjava-vo that uses axis, looks more like a runtime feature but I'm not sure. In uimaj the uimaj-adapter-soap makes use of axis. So with a bit of effort we could get rid of a couple of hardly used packages and don't have to maintain them any longer. Thoughts? Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
