[bug#29891] [PATCH] gnu: java-classpathx-servletapi: Update to 3.0-r1244.

[Gábor Boskovits]

Actually, I don't know. I've not asked for that. This is the only commit since years. Maybe they are willing to make a new release.

I will ask them, and cc you.

This seems correct to me.  I also verified that this builds
reproducibly.

The commit message is a bit long; we could summarize it with a sentence
instead.

How difficult would it be to have upstream make a new release?  It looks
like we're now using an arbitrary revision of their source code, instead
of a release.  In general, I think it's better to use a release if we
can, since that implies the code has been more thoroughly tested etc.
