I believe that every solution that involves patching all of our javadoc
packages is not a good one. :) Of course Martin can depend on Debian's
system jquery and use dh_link to replace the embedded copy with the one
installed on the system but I'm far too lazy too consider this a
worthwhile task for myself. It's not efficient, so to speak ;)

I'm in favor of tackling the issue at the root, openjdk-11. I will take
a closer look at DebConf18 and prepare a patch and resubmit my bug
report. Everything else is up to doko.

I agree there are a lot more interesting problems to work on but it's
far easier to solve than many of the other ones. As for
libjide-oss-java: I have reported the FTBFS months ago but it doesn't
look like that we will see a real solution soon. They depend on
functionality which was simply removed with OpenJDK 10. Fortunately only
some windows-specific classes are affected, so I could ultimately patch
them out and work around it. However we should strongly consider to ship
OpenJDK 8 with Buster. Then I could just build-depend on it and be done
for now and maybe in two years time there is a better solution. Actually
I don't see a reason why we couldn't do it, provided we mark OpenJDK 8
EOL security-wise and just use it for building/developing packages.

The most important problem is JavaFX at the moment because without that
libjide-oss-java is just another library. The reason why it was packaged
is mediathekview but without JavaFX is won't be part of Buster anyway
(and PDFsam, and Netbeans, and...)

Cheers,

Markus
