  Description     : Java language support for Thrift

 Thrift is a software framework for the development of reliable and
 performant communication and data serialization. It combines a
 software stack with code generation to build services that operate
 seamlessly across a number of different development languages.
 .
 This package provides the Java language support for Thrift.

libthrift-java is a new build-dependency for apache-jena, the latest
version of mediathekview and possibly cassandra (ITP: #585905). Since
there was no reaction to #938927 for 1,5 years now, I intend to
re-introduce the old libthrift-java package and maintain it within the
Debian Java team.
