14:46 <RAOF> dodobrain: Particularly - I'm not sure what the actual symptom is here, nor how Eclipse or other projects would be impacted.
14:47 <dodobrain> essentially the projects within eclipse will show as broken because one of the files (pulse-java.jar) disappeared
14:48 <dodobrain> cmdline and other applications will not really be affected
14:49 <dodobrain> and eclipse will remain affected *until* user goes into preferences and deletes the existing JRE and adds back the same rooted at /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-7-amd64  and then set it back as default
14:49 <dodobrain> it will not affect those who run eclipse for the very first time *after* getting this update
14:50 <RAOF> And ‘show as broken’ means that they won't build/work? Or is it just cosmetic?
14:50 <dodobrain> for everyone else who has run eclispe atleast once before this update, it will 'show' the projects as broken
14:51 <dodobrain> and if they don;t dig around enough or don;t know how to, they will always get reports that their project is broken
14:51 <dodobrain> 'show as broken' means when you try to run/launch the project executables or unit tests it will say project contains errors
14:56 <RAOF> Ok. That seems like it qualifies as sufficiently dire :(
14:57 <dodobrain> yup, i can imagine some people desperately trying to find out why their projects are broken, because eclipse doesn't tell you immediately that there is a problem in the jre and not the project itself

Title:
  Package dropped pulse-java.jar, breaking some development environments

Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It seems between openjdk-7 versions 7u51-2.4.6-1ubuntu4 and
  7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (now in trusty-security) the file
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/pulse-java.jar was
  dropped, breaking some development environments.

  In utopic and later it seems this is provided by libpulse-java, which
  might be why the 14.10 backport has broken.
