zookeeper FTBFS with gcj as default-jdk

[Tim Retout <diocles@debian.org>]

Hi all,

What's the right thing to do when Java packages can only build against
openjdk-7-jdk, and not gcj?

Since the latest default-jdk upload, zookeeper now fails to build on
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 and sparc:
https://bugs.debian.org/742405

I guess fixing it to build with gcj will be quite difficult (but I've
not tried) - digging around the internet, I can see that there used to
be similar problems for zookeeper on mips, before openjdk worked
there.

I would appreciate any advice!
