Everyone who struggles to update right now: Please install the jdk21-openjdk package. It provides java-environment=21.

@shmilee: I like that idea. Implemented in 5.5-2 using JABREF_OPTIONS as variable name.

Note that you can then also put that environment variable into your .bashrc, .pam_environment or something similar to be automatically applied.

How about add an extra JavaOptions variable in launch script /usr/bin/jabref like this?

............
--module-path ${ROOT}/lib \
${JABREF_EXT_Options} \
--patch-module .............

So we can add the -Djdk.gtk.version=2 flag or -Dglass.gtk.uiScale=144dpi flag by cmdline, no need to edit /usr/bin/jabref after upgrade.

JABREF_EXT_Options='-Dglass.gtk.uiScale=144dpi -Djdk.gtk.version=2' jabref

Using JabRef with i3wm, I’m running into the issue described at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5867 in which clicking the menu bar sometimes opens then immediately closes the associated menu, rendering it unusable.

I was able to fix this issue by adding the -Djdk.gtk.version=2 flag after line 9 in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/jabref.sh?h=jabref (as suggested in the related bug report https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8251240). This change also removes the “XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed. Don't do that.” warning mentioned by ruiin in a previous comment.

So far, I have not encountered any adverse side-effect from this workaround.

myops: As far as I can tell, the checksum is still correct. Maybe you have an old/modified version of the LICENSE.md file lying around?

Please update the checksum for LICENSE.md in PKGBUILD.

@Rhinoceros You're right! Very odd indeed.

@n.vaughan You just needed to follow the pinned comment. It looks like you are using the old PKGBUILD. The current one already has that line in it!

@Rhinoceros, I just changed the line:

depends=('archlinux-java-run>=4' 'java-openjfx'

to:

depends=('archlinux-java-run>=4' 'java8-openjfx'

in the PKGBUILD file. It now works fine.

Rhinoceros commented on 2019-07-25 22:52 (UTC)

@n.vaughan It's in the official repos, not the AUR. Did you follow the pinned comment? pacman -Syu then pacman -S --asdeps java8-openjfx

n.vaughan commented on 2019-07-25 22:48 (UTC)

I couldn't find java8-openjfx in the AUR, only java-openjfx. The install failed.

Rhinoceros commented on 2019-07-25 09:37 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick update!

Bevan commented on 2019-07-25 06:48 (UTC)

Important note on the java-openjfx update:

Arch restructured the java-openjfx package. Version 8 which is required by jabref is now called java8-openjfx. To update your system, you need to temporarily uninstall jabref, then make a full system update and finally build and install the newest version:

  • pacman -R jabref
  • pacman -Syu
  • pacman -S --asdeps java8-openjfx
  • makepkg
  • pacman -U jabref-4.3.1-3-any.pkg.tar

Rhinoceros commented on 2019-07-24 22:33 (UTC)

The change has reached the stable repos now.
