Downloading Java fails due to an API failure

[mikeduminy]

When running this tool in CI we see the following:

Java jre or jdk between 8 and 14 is required 
Installing Java jre 14 in /home/jenkins/.java-caller...
Unexpected error: invalid json response body at https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v2/info/releases/openjdk14?type=jre&openjdk_impl=hotspot&release=latest&os=linux&arch=x64& reason: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
FetchError: invalid json response body at https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v2/info/releases/openjdk14?type=jre&openjdk_impl=hotspot&release=latest&os=linux&arch=x64& reason: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

It looks like there's some internal error in the v2 API, but no sign of it reported on https://status.adoptium.net/. I tweeted at them to look at it but I think it's worth mentioning that this v2 API is deprecated and the recommendation is to migrate to adoptium apis instead.

We are encountering this as well

Also reported to the API owners - https://github.com/adoptium/api.adoptium.net/issues/681

We solved it by pre-seeding our CI machine with JDK11, thus skipping this dynamic download.

Hi there, Adoptium Maintainer here 👋🏼

This is fixed now but please migrate to the V3 API (https://api.adoptium.net) as the V2 API has been deprecated for a long time.

Lucky for everyone, I've got the covid so I have a little time to work on njre / node-java-caller / npm-groovy-lint

Million thanks to @mheiges for his PR !

[mheiges]

@nvuillam, I hope you are recovering well. Is there a plan to make a new release of NGL with the updated java-caller and njre package dependencies?

[nvuillam]

@mheiges I am desperately trying but i've not coded in groovy / java for years now and I'm struggling a lot :/ I might the the beginning of a solution but the CodeNarcServer desperately fails :(

Maybe u would like to continue being a superhero and have a look , with my guidance if necessary ? https://github.com/nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint/pull/286

[mheiges]

oh, wow, that's a lot to digest. I was thinking more of just bumping the java-caller version in package.json, at least for the short term. Otherwise, I'll take a look this weekend but no promises, CodeNarcServer is a beast.

[nvuillam]

Basically, with my updates it kind of works but when i try to call CodeNarc libraries it crashes and i am unable to see a trace i don't even succeed to debug in IntelliJ or VsCode :'(

I'm really rusty, and i see users are more and more complaining so i'll try to solve the issue but with my 2 jobs + MegaLinter + sfdx-hardis it's hard to juggle with priorities :(

ps: wrote u on linkedin PM :)
