J7Z might work with Java v9+, but there's no guarantee. (The J7Z codebase hasn't been modified since 2019, so it's an old program.)

To get past the problem you're facing, install the "jre8-openjdk" package and then run "archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk". Once you have built J7Z, you can remove that package (and it might still work).

If that doesn't work, try installing the "jdk8-openjdk" package as well (and removing it afterwards, as with the other one).

Does anybody know what went wrong. PKGBUILD says it just needs "java-runtime>=8 p7zip". I have jdk-openjdk 26.u35-2 (which provides java-runtime=26) and 7zip 26.00-1.1 installed. The build finds the Environment but imediately fails to build because I don't have Java 1.8 installed?

# Environment

USER = $USER
LOGNAME = $USER

Java = /usr/bin/java
Java-Ver = up
JavaC = /usr/bin/javac

It depends on what needs doing. No new features are planned.

Sourceforge says Last Update: 2019-04-30

Is the project still maintained?

Hello, could you update links to https?

Pietro_Pizzi commented on 2017-10-17 20:53 (UTC)

1.4.1-1 works :)

Try building in a clean chroot. I'm still not experiencing that problem here, even with JDK v9.

Pietro_Pizzi commented on 2017-09-25 23:01 (UTC)

I have the same problem like rodrigo21. What was the solution? I tried it with "yaourt -S j7z" and with a "clean" PATH: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl"; yaourt -S j7z

Xavion commented on 2016-05-18 03:01 (UTC)

Yes, it builds fine here with "jre8-openjdk". I think your PATH statement must've been screwed up when you tried initially.

I'm using jre8-openjdk and jdk8-openjdk. Output of "java -version": openjdk version "1.8.0_92" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode) Edit: I was able to build in a clean chroot.
