Bug#617425: Working on this package

[Tim Booth <avarus@fastmail.fm>]

Hi,

Just to let people know I've committed my initial work to get this
building.  This is not complete and will not yet produce binary debs you
can use, but I'm progressing.   I'm trying to make a drop-in replacement
for the sun-javadb-* packages in Ubuntu multiverse. I believe there is
no longer any real problem with the new JavaCC (a very small patch gets
it to compile) but I can't say this until I get the functional tests
running.  Ant, in it's usual way, tells me there is an error compiling
the functional tests but it won't tell me what the error message
actually is.  I will try to trace and fix some time next week, and then
finish up the packaging.

For the curious:

This work was done as part of the Debian Med Sprint 2013:
