Any progress on this?
There are very few rdeps of openjdk-7 left (and today I'm poking them).

This is the huge dependency stack that I was referring to.

Possibly, I only did a quick look at it a while ago, so I don't know
if it's the only approach.

Best wishes,

For building lwgl3 we would need jcommander, which is in Debian, and
kotlin, a programming language and compiler.

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin

This one seems to be the blocker because kotlin build-depends on
components of IntelliJ IDEA and all in all that's a lot of stuff for a
mere library. But perhaps I am missing something and it is much simpler...

I had a quick look at lwjgl3. It seems the API has been declared stable
and lwjgl2 will be retired in favor of lwjgl3. I will try to package
version 3. There are no reverse-dependencies for lwjgl, so the risk of
breaking something is for once quite small.

2.9.3 is supposed to support building without ant.  I looked at it a
while ago, and it isn't quite that simple.

lwjgl3 is also available, but it has a huge dependency stack with
almost none of it in Debian yet.

I have less interest in lwjgl now than I used to, and I may not be
able to find the time to work on it.

Best wishes,
Mike

I have switched the build-dependency to default-jdk and changed
JAVA_HOME in debian/rules accordingly. However the package FTBFS with
OpenJDK 8. I guess packaging the latest upstream release would be the
best option.

Package: src:lwjgl
Version: 2.7.1+dfsg-5
Severity: serious
User: debian-j...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: openjdk-8-transition

The package build-depends or depends one an openjdk-7-* package,
which is scheduled for removal for stretch.  Please do not depend
on a specific openjdk version, but on one of the default-java,
default-java-headless or default-jdk packages instead.

default-java defaulting to openjdk-8 on most architectures is now
available in unstable.
