Hi Robert
I finally got some time to look into the Sling 14 release and first I wanted to
make sure Sling Starter is building and running.
So I installed:
- Mac OS Sequoia 15.6.1
- OpenJDK 25
- Maven 3.9.11
Apache Maven 3.9.11 (3e54c93a704957b63ee3494413a2b544fd3d825b)
Maven home: /Volumes/SSD_Development/Java/maven3
Java version: 25, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-25.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "15.6.1", arch: "aarch64", family: “mac"
When I run the build: mvn --update-snapshots clean install
I am encountering an error:
[INFO] --- spotless:2.44.0.BETA4:check (default) @ org.apache.sling.starter ---
[INFO] Index file does not exist. Fallback to an empty index
[ERROR] Step 'palantir-java-format' found problem in 'StarterReadyRule.java':
'java.util.Queue
com.sun.tools.javac.util.Log$DeferredDiagnosticHandler.getDiagnostics()'
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.util.Queue
com.sun.tools.javac.util.Log$DeferredDiagnosticHandler.getDiagnostics()'
at com.palantir.javaformat.java.JavaInput.buildToks (JavaInput.java:366)
Am I doing something wrong, is that a known issue or should I use Oracle JDK ?
