[Bug 1286779] [NEW] Please migrate libjetty-extra-java to tomcat7

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Alberto Mardegan (mardy):

libjetty-extra-java still depends on libtomcat6-java which prevents it
from being installed alongside other programs which depend on tomcat7.
According to the Debian bug report, Eclipse is among these programs.

(Another it causes problems for is gradle which cannot currently be
installed at the same time as tomcat7. Gradle's explicit dependency on
tomcat6 has been removed (see bug 997743for details) and should have
fixed it, but since gradle also depends on libjetty-extra-java the issue
is still present. )


SRU for 14.04:

[Impact]
It is very hard to use this package in conjuction with relevant development tools because they depend on different versions on tomcat which means you can't install both.

[Test case]
For instance `sudo apt-get install eclipse libjetty-extra` will fail because eclipse wants tomcat7, but libjetty-extra-java currently needs tomcat6.

[Regression potential]
