Arch Linux User Repository

I got this to work after setting my default Java to a version >=11.

# List available versions
archlinux-java status

# Set default
sudo archlinux-java set java-20-openjdk

@j.mlr Hello, I am currently using ltex-ls-bin 16.0.0, with OpenJDK 20. It works okay with Neovim 0.9.1 and the latest nvim-lspconfig. I would guess that the issue is not related to ltex-ls but to the specific coc-ltex Vim plugin. Have you talked to the plugin developers?

It has been suggested that the latest version of ltex-ls (16.0.0) doesn't work with Vim and coc-ltex (https://github.com/valentjn/ltex-ls/issues/243).

On my machine, version 15.2.0 still works.

Not sure if this affects VSCode in any way.

dmitmel: Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the input. I modified the package to limit the Java version to 11. Pacman should install OpenJDK headless 11 by default now.

leejuyuu: Honestly I don't remember why I put a dependency on a headless JRE, let alone why I specified precisely OpenJDK, but if it ain't broke...

@dmitmel I tried applying your patch, but namcap detects java-runtime dependency. So I modified the PKGBUILD as the following. Let me know whether you find it reasonable. Thanks!

zpyg: Hi again, could you please take a look at the patch?

@dmitmel Thanks! Howerver, I'm a little bit busy these days, I'll merge it next weekend.

Hi, I rewrote the PKGBUILD to not install the bundled JDK and instead use the OpenJDK 11 package from the repositories, also to install simpler scripts into /usr/bin, and fixed some other minor mistakes. Here's the diff:
