fails to start with linux 3.0 on arch linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start
2. -> fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected -> should start

instead : 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at java.nio.file.FileSystems.getDefault(Unknown Source)
    at sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfoFile$1.run(Unknown Source)
[...]

    at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
    at sun.nio.fs.LinuxFileSystem.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at sun.nio.fs.LinuxFileSystemProvider.newFileSystem(Unknown Source)
[...]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

[joebar@arch ~]$ yaourt -Q ganttproject
archlinuxfr/ganttproject 2.0.10-1

I'm using Arch Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.

Problem occurs since linux kernel update to 3.0. This is almost certainly the 
cause, I guess gantt is looking for the kernel version and fails to read it 
because the number is now 3.x instead of 2.6.x.
Is is failing on parsing "0-ARCH" as a number, and this is precisely what 
appears when i request ùy kernel version :

[joebar@arch ~]$ uname -r
3.0-ARCH

Sorry I founded out that ganttproject is not the cause of the problem, but 
instead it is the java library itself.

This was my faulty version of java :

[joebar@arch ~]$ java -version
java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b134)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.0-b04, mixed mode)

This one is ok (openjdk6) and allows gantt to run again :
[joebar@arch ~]$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10.3) (ArchLinux-6.b22_1.10.3-1-i686)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

I guess the bug can be closed. Sorry for reporting too fast.

GanttProject should be able to run using orcale/sun java as well as openjdk.
So the issue is still valid and you narrowed the possible errors down :)

I believe you might as well update your Java 7 package. "ea" in its name 
probably means it is "early access" build, not the release. 

Anyway, the stack trace you posted says that the problem is in JRE and if the 
problem persists, you'd better file an issue to Oracle.
