[SOLVED] Compilation of java-program failed

Hello,

I did try to install logism-evolution-git from the AUR and apparantly it compiles in Java. I get this error

==> Starting build()...
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
..........10%...........20%...........30%..........40%...........50%...........60%..........70%...........80%...........90%..........100%

Welcome to Gradle 7.0.2!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - File system watching enabled by default
 - Support for running with and building Java 16 projects
 - Native support for Apple Silicon processors
 - Dependency catalog feature preview

For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/7.0.2/release-notes.html

To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.0.2/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.

So I checked and this is what's installed

    Common files for Java Development Kits
 ~  pacman -Ss java-runtime-common    
extra/java-runtime-common 3-3 [installed]
    Common files for Java Runtime Environments

I put it in the Noobie Corner because it might stem from an AUR-installation (with yay, btw), but I do believe the problem itself has something to do with my (maybe bad?) openjdk-installation, since it's just the Java-compliation that fails (by now). It's strange that it uses the v8, which I do believe is only on board because Arduino pulled it.

Re: [SOLVED] Compilation of java-program failed

I'm assuming you mean logisim-evolution-git. I have no experience with said package as I've never used it. But if you look at the aur page for this package then it has not been updated in over 2 years, and there is a comment claiming that the build system has changed. If that is the case, then it is highly likely that the current PKGBUILD for this package is broken. I would suggest the logisim-evolution package, which seems to be actively maintained.

If you absolutely want to use the unmaintained git package, it might be required to use a newer java version. There is a very good Arch Wiki page describing how to set the java version for your system.

In any case, you should always include full output, not just parts of it. yay is also not doing you any favors if you don't understand the manual build process with makepkg.

EDIT: The comment on the git package is newer than the last update of the package, so it was most likely fixed to match the new build system. Ensuring that your default java version is set to the newest one might be the most likely solution.

Re: [SOLVED] Compilation of java-program failed

Thank you friends! Both your replies were very helpful. I now installed the logisim-evolution-package instead of the git.

What's your default java set to?

It was on 8, I changed it to 17, then the package did get build some, but not much further (other errors started to emerge), so I tried, as advised above, the non-git package, which works like a charm.
