Arch Linux User Repository

Because this is very old and unmaintained, trying to install it from AUR will fail, at least, with something like this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.9-bin.zip

So I git cloned the repo and changed the PKGBUILD with this:

build() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
    sed -i "/apply plugin: 'maven'/d" ./build.gradle
    gradle build
}

I have installed jdk8-openjdk and gradle (not using gradlew, and new gradle don't need the maven plugin, which is why I sed'ed it out)

then simply: makepkg -si

I guess you're building with Java 11 - try with Java 8 and it should work.

Since there's no maintainer for this I'll see if I can look into why this is happening.

I'm getting this issue while building
