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.

I have installed the following Java/JDK packages (all up to date):

Any idea how to resolve the error, do I need to fix something in the build files or install some additional package?

Thanks and happy new year!

@daniel_shub: Thanks for the report. This is something that needs a bit of thinking and testing. Not sure if this is an issue in archlinux-java-run or in this and probably other packages using it. For now, I transformed it into a github issue, so I don't forget: https://github.com/michaellass/AUR/issues/34

daniel_shub commented on 2022-12-02 17:40 (UTC)

I am having trouble building in a clean chroot with makechrootpkg.

==> Starting build()... Your Java installation is not set up correctly. Try archlinux-java fix. Using JDK from to build JabRef.

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH.

Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the location of your Java installation.

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

I am installing jdk18-openj9-bin and archlinux-java-run from the AUR.

resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (6) java-environment-common-3-3 java-runtime-common-3-3 nspr-4.35-1 nss-3.85-1 archlinux-java-run-9-1 jdk18-openj9-bin-18.0.2.1-1

I think the recommendation to run "archlinux-java fix" is correct since if I manually enter the chroot and then run the "archlinux-java-run" command from the PKGBUILD, it does not return anything but if I run "archlinux-java fix", then the PKGBUILD command gives the correct version.

The issue, I think is that I cannot simply add "archlinux-java fix" to the build function in the PKGBUILD since the archlinux-java script requires root privileges and makechrootpkg drops privileges (I think).

Thankfully, version 5.8 of JabRef now builds with Java 17, i.e., you can use jdk17-openjdk from the official repositories to build this package. Hence, the following comment on JabRef 5.7 is obsolete:

Unfortunately, JabRef currently requires Java 18 to be built. This Java version is unsupported by now and is only available via AUR packages. For now I suggest installing jdk18-openj9-bin to be able to build this package.

@Bevan Thanks! xorg-xwayland did the trick for me

Bevan commented on 2022-09-29 13:07 (UTC)

@conkeldurr: It's available in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archlinux-java-run

Got the following error-

@MadMe: As far as I can see, Java still relies on X11 and does not support Wayland directly. Do you have xorg-xwayland installed? If not, could you please check if installing that package (and maybe restarting your graphical session) solves the problem for you?

MadMe commented on 2022-09-03 15:32 (UTC)

I've got an problem. Jabref refuses to start on Wayland (sway) i get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unable to open DISPLAY Any Ideas?
