Here is a quick summary of the current state of the Java packages : + + * OpenJDK 8 is now the default Java runtime in testing/unstable. OpenJDK 7 + has been removed, as well as several packages that couldn't be upgraded + to work with OpenJDK 8 (avian, eclipse). + * OpenJDK 9 is available in experimental. For the reminder it won't be part + of the next release, OpenJDK 8 will be the only Java runtime supported + for Stretch. + * Netbeans didn't make it in Jessie, but it is now back and up to date. + * The main build tools are close to their latest upstream releases, especially + Maven and Gradle which were seriously lagging behind. + * Scala has been upgraded to the version 2.11. We are looking for Scala experts + to maintain the package and its dependencies. + * Freemind has been removed due to lack of maintenance, Freeplane is recommended instead. + * The [reproducibility](https://reproducible.debian.net/unstable/amd64/pkg_set_maint_pkg-java-maintainers.html) + rate has greatly improved, climbing from 50% to 75% over a year. + * Backports are continuously provided for the main applications: OpenJDK 8, OpenJFX, + Ant, Maven, Gradle, Tomcat 7 & 8, Jetty 8 & 9, OpenJDK 8, OpenJFX, jEdit. + * We have several difficult transitions ahead: BND 3, BouncyCastle 1.54, + Tomcat 7 to 8, Jetty 8 to 9, ASM 5, and of course Java 9. Some help would + be welcome. + * The transition to Maven 3 has been completed and the packages are no longer + built with Maven 2. + * New packaging tools have been created to work with Gradle (gradle-debian-helper) + and Ivy (ivy-debian-helper). + +### Package updates + +The packages listed below detail the changes in jessie-backports and testing. +Libraries and Debian specific tools have been excluded. + +Packages added to jessie-backports: + + * [ant](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ant) (1.9.7) + * [elasticsearch](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/elasticsearch) (1.6.2) + *
