[FIXED] - Java Runtime error

rhoffsch42 commented 5 years ago

Hello,

Today i had an error launching PAL2:

includes evaluation version of Java Runtime not eligible for distribution.

Do i have to do something to solve this ?

That would be awesome to know as I got the same problem as of today.

Same here, isn't the App supposed to be rewritten in Kotlin ( so no more Java ) ?

No, from the error message it seems like the new update was wrongly deployed somehow.

Oracle has changed the Java licenses for 2019, and most updates for Java 8 (which it seems this addon runs on) which will require a fee to distribute. However this project should be non-commercial, so the java distributed runtime probably just needs updating to work again, since the license fees do not apply for these.

@Pekno Kotlin is also a JVM language which means that its requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to run.

Is there any idea for an ETA on the updated version which works?

While we wait for a updated release I thought this might help some folks who want to still run their addons that are usually managed by PAL2.

PAL2 has most of the addons in one of two locations. You must have Windows show "hidden folders" or go to your search bar (usually next to the "start" button/logo in the bottom left hand corner of your screen) and type %appdata% and press enter. Then proceed to navigate to:

C:\Users\yourfolder\AppData\Local\PAL\Addons

C:\Users\yourfolder\AppData\Local\Programs

Obviously, "yourfolder" above is going to be different for each computer and the user account setup on it that you are logged into.

Now just go to each of the Addon folders and look for their shortcut to manually start the program/script.

Hope this helps someone!

Update coming in a few minutes, gonna repack and then it will break again in 90 days, I've e-mailed Excelsior JET to get a possible Free License so that it won't happen again, sorry for the inconvience!

NOTE: You'll have to manually update to v1.0.8 This means replacing all of the files where you installed it.

Fixed, download: https://github.com/POE-Addon-Launcher/PAL2/releases/download/1.0.8/PAL2.zip replace the contents of your installation, won't auto-update!
