Updated to 1.9.8, changed java-runtime to jre21-openjdk and enhanced downloads to use the correct link (and not hard-coding the mirror)

Hard-coding the CDN mirror also doesn't really make sense as sourceforge auto-forwards you with a 302 redirect to the correct local CDN mirror anyway with the generic link, currently https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/projectlibre/ProjectLibre/1.9.8/projectlibre-1.9.8.tar.gz (scraped via browser dev mode). Please consider setting that URL instead of hard-coding netcologne (which is currently down).

Also pkgver 1.9.8 requires java 21: java25 makes deprecated SecurityManager an error, and previous versions give a warning that the source was compiled with a newer JDK version.

The easiest way to override is to set the java binary explicitly in $HOME/.projectlibre/run.conf .

Hey folks, this is a pretty easy one to update. Keep in mind, v1.9.8 (latest as of this writing) needs to run with java v21 (jre21-openjdk). Here's the patch, to apply to the v1.9.3 PKGBUILD:

I don't think JDK versions newer than 11 will be supported any time soon. would it be possible to change the aur package to use JDK11 automatically?

adding a dependency on JDK11 specifically instead of just any java-runtime and changing the launch script should do the trick.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java#Launching_an_application_with_the_non-default_java_version

with out this, i have to switch default java versions with archlinux-java to get the software to work propperly

@kikislater thanks for the hint. Running it now with jdk11-openjdk as it still has this issue with jdk17-openjdk.

It's under tasks. Add a two tasks, then in the panel above you can indent. Not reported as they don't have public platform like github or gitlab, need to register, may be later ...

Sorry for the late response but how can this indent / outdent problem be replicated? Is this really a packaging bug or more a project wide compatibility issue with java 16? Did you have open a bug report for the project?

indent / outdent doesn't work with jdk16-openjdk ! It works with jdk11-openjdk ...

tar.gz downloads just fine.

But please remove the install file, it is no longer needed, as pacman hooks do the trick.
