New version of libnb-javaparser-java breaks netbeans

[Sergey Basalaev]

In trusty package 'libnb-javaparser-java' is upgraded to version 7.4-1, but 'netbeans' is still version 7.0.1-1. Since API of the library changes, NetBeans fails to work properly with Java projects (among broken things are code highlighting and autocompletion), and reports the following error

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.tools.javac.util.CancelAbort

(stacktrace is in attachment)

Downgrading to libnb-javaparser-java 7.0.1-1 solves the problem.

If packaging new version of netbeans causes much trouble, please, either downgrade libnb-javaparser-java, or create separate package with older version of javaparser which netbeans can depend on.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It renders essential functionality of the package (or a dependent one) broken.
