Bug#683552: jhdf: Transition package to use default java implementation

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Drop build dependencies on openjdk-{6|7}-jdk,
    version default-jdk (>= 1:1.6).
  * d/patches/source1.5.diff: Also set -target 1.5 to ensure backwards
    compatible bytecode is created.

This will ensure that the default java implementation is used to build this
package (which it was anyway) - this is important in Ubuntu as we are
transitioning from openjdk-6 -> openjdk-7 - by using default-jdk future
transition change will be minimised.

Second bit ensure bytecode will work with older JVM's when built with openjdk-7

Thanks for considering the patch.
