With this bug report, I would like to create a bionic SRU for the
libjsyntaxpane-java package.

The debdiff is attached. The commit is on the "bionic-SRU" branch:
  https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/libjsyntaxpane-java/commits/bionic-SRU

Please review this as I did not initiate many Ubuntu SRUs.

[Impact]

 * Freeplane uses libjsyntaxpane-java for editing groovy and latex
content

 * libjsyntaxpane-java-0.9.6~r156-6 is not compatible with Java9; with
   Java9, it crashes at runtime when opening the editor(s).

 * The fix is simple (one patch for java9 fix, one patch for making it
   build without maven) is simple and well tested on Debian unstable
   and Debian testing

[Test Case]

 * Install 'freeplane', add a node with content "\latex $x_2=3$"
   (without quotes), and edit the node with Alt+Enter. Without the fix
   (-6), there will be a popup with an exception. With the fix
   (-6ubuntu1), an editor with syntax highlighting will pop up.
 
[Regression Potential] 

 * In theory, the editor could still not work with the new (-6ubuntu1) version
   (unlikely, because the fix is well-tested). There is no risk since the 
current
   version of libjsyntaxpane-java is completely broken.

[Other Info]
 
 * Anything else you think is useful to include
 * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the 
Technical Board
 * and address these questions in advance


** Patch added: "bionic-jsyntaxpane-SRU.debdiff"
