Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. 1 error 9 warnings What is your motivation to package jpdal4-lgpl for Debian? Is this library a requirement for something else? Why would we need jpedal4 if the development is frozen? The package claims jpedal4 is actively developed but is this really true? The homepage address of the fork is https://github.com/on-site/JPedal and I can see only two commits there and no releases. Looks pretty dead in my opinion.
