Package: libgcj10 Version: 4.4.2-3 Severity: normal Although GCJ claims compliance with Java 5.0 standard APIs it does not implement method java.net.URL.openConnection(java.net.Proxy). This may not be a big issue ordinarily but in this case it is causing FTBFS of libxmlrpc3-java. [1] Following is the test program that fails to compile with GCJ but compiles fine with OpenJDK.
