Generally it's a mess I think, no really good solution. Something that would "mostly" work is:

export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk/jre/bin/:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk/jre/bin/:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/jre/bin/:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-12-openjdk/jre/bin/:$PATH"
./gradlew ...args...

the app itself is runnable on jre-13, just checked.

Unfortunately I do not know any way to even pin specific version, like 8, without also specifying that it should be openjdk specifically.

vasya, could you please provide an example script which selects JRE on Arch based on its version?

vasya commented on 2019-12-31 15:35 (UTC)

... and mindustry dev said that gradle 6 won't be supported for now, so we need to fix it in AUR.

One way of doing that is to specify the dependencies like that: depends=("java-runtime>=8" "java-runtime<13")

This will ensure that the right jre is installed, but it won't check on what's actually used. To make the *.sh script work properly, the PATH tricks (mentioned in prev comments) need to be used....

I've raised an issue upstream, hopefully they'll fix it soon. https://github.com/Anuken/Mindustry/issues/1291

In case someone else hits a Unsupported class file major version 57 during the gradle build: Gradle supports Java13 only from version 6 onwards. You need to change the url in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to the latest v6 release (6.0.1 at time of writing).

Builds fine. Thanks for changing! Run-time was already using system-s default, 11 in my case, so there's no explicit reason to check. (And I'm at work now.)

vasya: try updating now

vasya commented on 2019-10-28 09:13 (UTC)

It does work with 11 as far as I could test indeed, I've been playing campaign and online in the past days with it. Also, since the game is started with java -jar, version 11 might still take priority on many systems. If you want to really push 11, maybe you can look into that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java#Launching_an_application_with_the_non-default_java_version (I would just specify 8+ though:)

dmitmel commented on 2019-10-28 08:34 (UTC)

vasya: It does work with Java 11 (at least starts, just tested), however only Java 8 is officially supported, so I'd rather wait for official announcements.

And another question if you don't mind. Does mindustry work on versions of java higher than 8? If yes, then the java dependency requirement should be changed to ">=8" I think. Otherwise you have e.g. java11, but mindustry won't build until you also install 8. The game will later be started with just java -jar anyway, so an update probably makes sense.
