Bug#561317: libgcj10: Method java.net.URL.openConnection(java.net.Proxy) not implemented

[Onkar Shinde <onkarshinde@ubuntu.com>]

Package: libgcj10
Version: 4.4.2-3
Severity: normal

Although GCJ claims compliance with Java 5.0 standard APIs it does not implement method java.net.URL.openConnection(java.net.Proxy). This may not be a big issue ordinarily but in this case it is causing FTBFS of libxmlrpc3-java. [1]
Following is the test program that fails to compile with GCJ but compiles fine with OpenJDK.

***************
import java.net.*;

public class Hello {
        public static void main (String args[]){
		try {
			URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com";);
			url.openConnection(Proxy.NO_PROXY);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
        }
}
