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.

@Bevan: jabref 3.0 crashes with jre7-openjdk. I had to switch to jre8-openjdk to get it to work. It also says on sourceforge it requires java 1.8 (jre8).

Bevan commented on 2015-07-16 20:14 (UTC)

@torta: sourceforge.net seems to have problems with their load balancing at the moment. You may replace the first entry in source by http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jabref/jabref/2.10/JabRef-2.10.jar to work around this temporarily.

@magno, i'am having the same problem. How do you solve it? ==> Validando las fuentes con sha1sums... JabRef-2.10.jar ... HA FALLADO jabref.sh ... Aprobado jabref.desktop ... Aprobado ==> ERROR: ¡Uno o más archivos no superaron el control de validación! ==> ERROR: Makepkg no ha podido compilar jabref.

I had little time to deal with the AUR4 migration lately. Therefore, I do not mind if you want to maintain it from this point on.

Bevan commented on 2015-07-08 12:21 (UTC)

I just migrated this package to AUR4. If the original maintainer (hseara) wants it back I will transfer the ownership back of course. Otherwise I will keep maintaining it.

@magno everything works fine.

As web search is not required feature to use jabref and to avoid enforcing too many dependencies on installation I have added "gsettings-desktop-schemas" package as an optional dependency. Thanks for the tip, I did not realize as I have whole gnome installed.

anntzer commented on 2014-05-07 22:11 (UTC)

Please add a dependency on gsettings-desktop-schemas, as jabref core-dumps in its absence when trying to perform a web search.

users of non reparenting window managers such as dwm edit /usr/bin/jabref and add the line; export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
