Error when compiling with Maven

[moebaid]

When I try to compile the package following the instructions in the README: mvn clean package

I get a DependencyResolutionException:

I haven't made any edits to the package, and it seems it can't collect the dependencies correctly.

Hi, thanks for reporting. The most likely cause is that this quite old code does not build on current Java JDK. A short-term fix would be to modify the pom.xml to fall back to Java X, where X=8 or X=11. Yours, Steffen

Hi, your issue prompted me to enable build testing at https://github.com/MassBank/MassBank2NIST/actions and as you see after a few broken builds (which had the same error as you showed above) things work again. You will need The Java 8 JDK for building since JDK 11 has another issue. Running java -jar target/MassBank2NIST-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar works with JRE 11 just fine. I don't yet know how the GitHub maven repository works to publish that Jar file. Yours, Steffen

If you go to https://github.com/MassBank/MassBank2NIST/packages/716384 at the right you can download the ready-built massbank2nist-0.0.4.jar. Yours, Steffen

Thanks for responding! So ideally I should have JDK 8 and JRE 11 installed?

If you take the above prebuilt massbank2nist-0.0.4.jar JRE11 (or maybe even later ?) should work. If you want to build yourself, JDK 8 is mandatory. Yours, Steffen
