AFAIK, GCJ uses classpath library these days. The code from classpath is being merged in GCJ. And from the status of classpath [1] it is clear that java.net.URL.openConnection(java.net.Proxy) does not exist in classpath implementation. This can be easily tested. Try compiling following code with GCJ and OpenJDK. GCJ fails to compile the code but OpenJDK works fine.
*************** 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(); } } } *************** Hence this is a tool chain issue and not issue in package libxmlrpc3-java itself. As of now there is nothing package maintainer can do except disabling building of the package for all arch that use GCJ as default compiler (to unblock the transition to testing).
