I just got mails that this broke the lasso-java package I maintain.
I do not know the java bindings much, I care only for the python
bindings and the C library really, but I compiled the java bindings in
if someone wanted to use it.

What is the path forward here ? Should I just drop the java bindings ?
Or do I just get some other dependency in ?
note I know little to nothing about java bindings so if it is
substantial work I will just remove the java binding and ask rel eng to
pull the subpackage.

Simo.
