  Description     : Java API for WebSocket (JSR-356)

Java API for WebSocket (JSR-356) defines a standard API for the development
of websocket applications, both on the server side as well as on the Java
client side.

The Java WebSocket API is already partially packaged in libservlet3.1-java,
but this package is tied to src:tomcat8 which won't be part of Buster. The
new tomcat9 package no longer builds the JavaEE APIs (Servlet, JSP,EL and
WebSocket APIs) and separate API packages are introduced to replace them.

This package will be maintained by the Java Team.
