Thanks for the headsup! What would be the best scenario to get it up and running? I tried at least 5 different versions of Eclipse and Java 11/14/17 - can't get it running locally :(... Any help is appreciated.

The only way to get rid of this issue is to use version 2021-06 (4.20.0) of eclipse. I will migrate the underlying stuff when it's stable enough and publish a new release (2.4.1).

Thank you so much @colameo 🙇! Confirm that jH IDE worked with the eclipse-dsl-2021-06-R-win32-x86_64. 4.20 Java EE distro fails the install with the following error though:

...hm, sure u tried with the jee 4.20 version? i've just tried with a fresh downloaded eclipse and it works for me (see screenshot below).

anyways, I personally recommend to use the java distro (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers) and install separately exactly the plugins u need. it's more efficient and you do not get all sort of features/settings u may don't need at all.

Got it, thank you once again for your help! I get install error on JDK 17 with 4.20

The error doesn't occur when downgrading to JDK 11

[nvg]

Confirm install error occurs with JDK 16 as well.

[colameo]

please follow the official installation instructions from jhipster (https://www.jhipster.tech/installation).

any deviations from that is not supported (at least for the JH IDE project):

[colameo]

...another important point, eclipse ships a bundled jre (justj). I recommend not using it (had strange issues with it) - install a separate clean jdk (preferably adoptopenjdk).

[colameo]

...i was just curious to check if it would work with jdk 17 on eclipse jee 4.20 and as you can see from the screenshot below no problems at all:

[nvg]

Thank you very much. I was wondering where that Java version comes from 😄

[colameo]

i used the amazon corretto openjdk edition, but you can also install the (official) oracle version, it works as well:

however, the jhipster version to support java 17 is still a DRAFT release ...
