Fwd: A lot of packages fixed to build with jdk9

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Hi Fridrich,

Thanks a lot for sharing your work. FYI in Debian we opted for bumping
the source/target level directly at the Ant [1] and Maven [2] level
instead of patching the packages individually. So far we still have ~140
packages to fix [3] before switching the default JRE to OpenJDK 9.
