Title:
  openjdk should stop recommending gconf and other deprecated gnome2
  stuff

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in openjdk-8 package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  gconf has been deprecated for years and is not used in the Unity or
  GNOME desktops. Whatever settings openjdk is trying to look up there
  are probably invalid.

  Also, openjdk is just about the only thing (see also LP: #1667195) pulling several other deprecated libraries into main:
  gnome-vfs
  libbonobo
  libbonoboui
  libgnomecanvas
  libgnomeui

  Since all of these are merely recommends, it doesn't seem like they're
  even required.

  The other gconf-using packages in main are aisleriot (LP: #1669136)
  and emacs (LP: #1669138)
