Arch Linux User Repository

All packages for Ghidra require Java 17. (package jdk17-openjdk)

You can set the active Java version using archlinux-java set java-17-openjdk

Ghidra from the official arch community repository does not require java 11. It works perfectly fine with the latest openjdk (java 18 currently). Can you fix it so that this package also doesn't need java 11?

Thanks @Escher!

Patch for Ghidra 10.0

This patch modifies the version, making many plugins incompatible, as well as ghidra zip exports not being importable by non-darcula clients.

Glad it's useful. You can also use https://github.com/elliiot/ghidra_darknight (requires changing the dragon_path) to create a code browser tool with dark color scheme.

I may build this into the default code browser itself but it requires patching options all over the code.

this is awesome I really appreciate it
