debian 12 and java 11, 17 - half solution #82

Closed flobee closed 1 year ago

flobee commented 1 year ago

If you just upgrade to debian 12 and had java 11 installed before, there is a chance to still use routconverter.

update-java-alternatives -l shows versions and you can set/force using java 11 system wide (not recommended) but you still can use java 11 binary:

Running routconverter gui with a desktop starter would go this way then.:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -jar /some/path/RouteConverterLinux.jar

This is helpful for the Website/download page as hint so that people dont have to search that deep!

java 11 could be installed from oldstable tree. but take care for security issues. java 11 is out of debian 12, official!

Hi @flobee

thank you for pointing that out. Actually I'm working on Java 17 support (which excludes everything before 17).

Is Java 17 the default on your Debian 12?

Could you test the latest prerelease?

cpesch commented 1 year ago

Please try the latest prerelease. It supports Java 17 and later only.

A rough check. The GUI starts and it seems to work.
