Package: icedtea-netx-common
Version: 1.3.1-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Since icedtea-web is built with Java 6, VariableX509TrustManagerJDK7.class is
not built and shipped with the icedtea-netx-common package.

This makes several Java applications using Java Web Start unusable like
https://ibank.cib.hu/ throwing the following exception:

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1.3) (7u3-2.1.3-1)

I'm submitting this bug with grave severity because in the support cycle of
Wheezy most users are expected to upgrade to Java 7 and Java Web Start will stop
working for them.

I have built icedtea-web 1.3.1-1 using Java 7 using the following little patch
and it solved the problem:
