Idem for me, impossible to build:
...

with master sources updated some days ago.

Even it would build, there are still lots of things to deal with it (see
bugreports).

I tried to build with a newer HSQLDB version but was stuck by packaging
stuff (it seems there's a bug workaround with our packaging of current
HSQLDB version, I don't remember the details).

I agree we should get rid of Java part (and so HSQLDB) but meanwhile we're a
bit stuck.
