Hi Ryan, With so many Java packages and so few developers on the Debian Java team, it is difficult to keep everything up to date or to determine which old versions are affecting users. So thank you for bringing this up. As Andreas suggests, please file a severity wishlist bug against the package to help us keep track. And if you have patches, you can attach them to the bug. Once buster is released, I'm willing to take a look at updating the package. Since the package is arch:all, it shouldn't be a problem to use the updated package from unstable/testing on buster (assuming the newer version doesn't pull in new dependencies not present in buster). Cheers, tony
