@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.

Sorry, I missed to update archlinux-java-run in time for JDK 21 which caused issues with building or running Java applications that use it. Please update archlinux-java-run to v10 and report back if there are still any issues afterwards.

Nice, thanks for the quick update!

Bevan commented on 2023-09-02 08:30 (UTC)

Luckily, that JDK 21 requirement is only due to a bug in jlink, which we do not use when building JabRef. So, updating to 5.10 is possible with JDK 20.

swsnr commented on 2023-09-02 05:13 (UTC)

5.10 seems to require OpenJDK 21 which is not yet released.

Hi Bevan, thanks for the prompt reply, after renaming /home/<user>/.m2/repository the build went through without problems👍 Thanks for your work!

Bevan commented on 2023-01-01 20:28 (UTC)

faebu: I cannot reproduce that problem. However, from the output it looks like gradle is only searching for the jar files within your maven cache (/home/<user>/.m2/repository) and not in the online repositories. You truncated the output, so maybe it's checking other locations later on.

The first thing I would try is to remove that cache, i.e., delete the folder /home/<user>/.m2/repository or temporarily rename it if you want to keep it.

What's a bit annoying is that all those jar files that are missing are deleted later anyway. But I don't know if/how it is possible to make gradle skip these files already during build...

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
