I've built with jdk8... Like this:

env JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin:$PATH makepkg -sic

But if you want to execute jitsi, it's better to set it globally:

archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk

I had the java-runtime from sun installed to start with. When installing the jitsi package (using yaourt) it will install the java-environment dependency, but it only presented the OpenJDK option. When separately installing java-environment via Pacman first, it presented following options: 1) OpenJDK and 2) sun JDK. Is yaourt only installing the first option instead of prompting for a choice or should this be taken care of in the PKGBUILD?

Just to add, the stable branch of Jitsi should be out in a few weeks according to the lead dev. Also he states that they develop using Sun's jdk and that OpenJDK should work. Seeing as OpenJDK is a fully compliant java runtime that should be the case. When the stable branch comes out this PKGBUILD will switch to that, feel free to fork it to a jitsi-nightly package if you want.

Updated the PKGBUILD as source code snapshots are now called 'jitsi' and not 'sip-communicator'; also added minor modifications from Skodabenz (thanks). I'd advise people who want to update to the latest build to download the tarball and run makepkg whenever they want the latest Jitsi.

Minor update to PKGBUILD at https://gist.github.com/1050785 . I removed references to ${startdir} and instead used ${srcdir} since ${startdir} will not work within a chroot (if one is used to build the package).

@psychedelicious: I completely removed JDK and JRE 7 from my system and installed OpenJDK6. Jitsi works now. BTW Jitsi seems to be incompatible with Java 7.

Update to skodabenz's PKGBUILD. From now on you can just run makepkg on the PKGBUILD to update Jitsi.

That's not true, I don't know why a dev would say this; I've read the mailing list post. OpenJDK6 works absolutely fine with Jitsi. I've used it for IM, and voice/video calls including calls with ztrp encryption. I've also just built 3565 (on x86-64) and it works fine. Either your system is misconfigured or PEBKAC.

A jitsi user in the upstream users ML mentioned that Binary Sun/Oracle JRE/JDK 6 only will work with jitsi, not JRE/JDK 7 (in community-testing) and not OpenJDK 6.

This is the makepkg output for build 3565 http://pastebin.com/kPeGgVnS . The main error with jitsi is "missing requirement package org.xml.sax . Does anyone know which package provides this one.

I updated the PKGBUILD at https://gist.github.com/1050785 with proper permissions for the image files and the jitsi.sh executable script. I don't know what should be the permissions for the files /usr/lib/jitsi/* though.
