Everyone who struggles to update right now: Please install the jdk21-openjdk package. It provides java-environment=21.

@shmilee: I like that idea. Implemented in 5.5-2 using JABREF_OPTIONS as variable name.

Note that you can then also put that environment variable into your .bashrc, .pam_environment or something similar to be automatically applied.

How about add an extra JavaOptions variable in launch script /usr/bin/jabref like this?

............
--module-path ${ROOT}/lib \
${JABREF_EXT_Options} \
--patch-module .............

So we can add the -Djdk.gtk.version=2 flag or -Dglass.gtk.uiScale=144dpi flag by cmdline, no need to edit /usr/bin/jabref after upgrade.

JABREF_EXT_Options='-Dglass.gtk.uiScale=144dpi -Djdk.gtk.version=2' jabref

Using JabRef with i3wm, I’m running into the issue described at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5867 in which clicking the menu bar sometimes opens then immediately closes the associated menu, rendering it unusable.

I was able to fix this issue by adding the -Djdk.gtk.version=2 flag after line 9 in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/jabref.sh?h=jabref (as suggested in the related bug report https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8251240). This change also removes the “XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed. Don't do that.” warning mentioned by ruiin in a previous comment.

So far, I have not encountered any adverse side-effect from this workaround.

@n.vaughan You just needed to follow the pinned comment. It looks like you are using the old PKGBUILD. The current one already has that line in it!

@Rhinoceros, I just changed the line:

depends=('archlinux-java-run>=4' 'java-openjfx'

to:

depends=('archlinux-java-run>=4' 'java8-openjfx'

in the PKGBUILD file. It now works fine.

@n.vaughan It's in the official repos, not the AUR. Did you follow the pinned comment? pacman -Syu then pacman -S --asdeps java8-openjfx

n.vaughan commented on 2019-07-25 22:48 (UTC)

I couldn't find java8-openjfx in the AUR, only java-openjfx. The install failed.

Rhinoceros commented on 2019-07-25 09:37 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick update!

Bevan commented on 2019-07-25 06:48 (UTC)

Important note on the java-openjfx update:

Arch restructured the java-openjfx package. Version 8 which is required by jabref is now called java8-openjfx. To update your system, you need to temporarily uninstall jabref, then make a full system update and finally build and install the newest version:

  • pacman -R jabref
  • pacman -Syu
  • pacman -S --asdeps java8-openjfx
  • makepkg
  • pacman -U jabref-4.3.1-3-any.pkg.tar

Rhinoceros commented on 2019-07-24 22:33 (UTC)

The change has reached the stable repos now.

# pacman -Syu

:: installing java-openjfx (11.0.3.u1-1) breaks dependency 'java-openjfx<9' required by jabref

Bevan commented on 2019-06-18 08:05 (UTC)

That we get openjfx for newer Java versions is great news! I'll update the dependencies for this package as soon as the change reaches the stable repos. People using testing that want to install openjfx 11 probably need to modify this package to get around dependency issues.

totsilence commented on 2019-06-18 07:58 (UTC)

There is a new package (currently in testing): java8-openjfx. I think (at least when java8-openjfx leaves testing) this package should depend on that package, as java-openjfx was upgraded to java 11.

dschrempf commented on 2019-02-05 12:40 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response, I didn't have notifications enabled. Both of your commands give the same output:

openjdk version "1.8.0_202" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b26) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b26, mixed mode)

At the moment, I am using the latest jar file provided at "https://builds.jabref.org/master/"! This seems to work better.
