Thanks, @zubi33, for contacting the developers and providing the details here! This time I cannot use the “print” trick to test it on my side.
Until I can test that for myself, I would suggest that others who face this problem try using jdk21-openjdk, by installing the package and switching to it before launching VSTax.
The second point is likely not the cause, as the launcher contains -Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT,CLDR.
I can't send my tax online. I asked to the developer and send my logs. This is the answer from developers :
dans les montants, le caractère « . » est remplacé par « , », ce qui ne correspond pas à la spécification (les frais professionnels km à 0,75 CHF sont transmis sous la forme 0,75).
D'après le log, cela pourrait avoir deux causes :
un runtime Java différent de celui de VSTax (java.runtime.version: 21.0.9+10-LTS) est utilisé
et java.locale.providers: COMPAT,CLDR n'est pas utilisé
I have following java version:
openjdk version "26.0.2" 2026-03-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 26.0.2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 26.0.2, mixed mode, sharing)
Finally i use Ubuntu into a VM to send my tax without errors.
Thanks for the hint about printing! I had a closer look, and this is a change introduced in JDK 24 1. As true is the default in JDK 21, which is the one they recommend, I believe it’s safe enough to set it back to make it work for JDK 24+ versions. I also took this opportunity to fix the versioning scheme.
Hello, Thank you for the work. I added -Djdk.xml.enableExtensionFunctions=true to java start command and use openJDK 26.0.2. When i try to send my tax online, i have an error that mention the compatibility are not the same as define. I forward to main developer and give you the reply.
Currently printing is also not possible, adding -Djdk.xml.enableExtensionFunctions=true as an argument to /usr/bin/vstax2025 fixed that.
So I believe you could test with the printing function. Is this even working on debian, as the official start script lacks that argument?
Thanks for the ping; I’ve updated to 1.0.3. Regarding -Djdk.xml.enableExtensionFunctions=true, I can’t test it myself as I cannot submit my tax form yet. As I can’t check for alternatives to this parameter, and I’m not sure about the security implications of enabling it, I’ll let people set it themselves for now.
Version 1.0.3 has been released. Sending tax forms in online may not work due to a Djdk.xml error. fixed by adding -Djdk.xml.enableExtensionFunctions=true to the java start command.
