Hello,

I'm hereby forwarding Debian bug

https://bugs.debian.org/873219

Unfortunately electric 9.07 fails to build from source with Java 9 now
due to some changes to generics in certain Swing classes. The error
message is:

[javac]
/build/electric-9.07+dfsg/com/sun/electric/tool/user/ui/JobTree.java:58:
error: incompatible types: Vector<JobTreeNode> cannot be converted to
Vector<TreeNode>
[javac]         children =3D jobNodes;

This is probably a bug in OpenJDK 9 and there were some discussions on
the OpenJDK mailing list three years ago:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2014-September/001295.htm=
l

It is unlikely this behavior will change with Java 9. It would be great
if there was a way to work around this issue because falling back to
Java 8 won't be possible for us.

Regards,

Markus
