Good idea, I tested it up to v24 and it works. It will still try to run with java 11, but otherwise use the default java version in the path.

Hi. Can you remove the restriction of java-runtime=11? openvisualtraceroute works fine with Java 21. Thanks!

Your right, it's done. Thanks.

Hellooooo, i suggest remove the line that mentions it is a packet sniffer in ovtr.desktop because the main developer said this in the changelog: "Starting version 2.0.0, I decided to deprecate the sniffer feature and refocus the tool on its original purpose: a visual traceroute."

Sure, I've updated the package. But In the future who knows...

@Emeric are you up for taking maintenance of this package?

Updating this package to 2.0 is easy. I've set the java-11 environment in the ovtr file, so it doesn't conflict with the one set on the system. The libpcap link and root seems to be useless in the 2.0, the packet sniffer has been removed.

@kusky: Got the same Error, solution was on the cmdline :

archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-17-openjdk (default)
  java-8-openjdk/jre

sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre

fails on startup: org.leo.traceroute.install.EnvException: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: usr_paths

@UtopianShoe: Okay, I see. The script contains stuff that we don't need anyway, so I have removed it now and start the jar directly from the ovtr script.
