Hello @csmuthukuda

Try doing this git pull --rebase upstream master.

make sure you are connected then compile again.

or check for your \Projects\openmrs-core\tools\src\main\java\org\openmrs\tools\doclet\ShouldTaglet.java then compare it is same with this

Hello @harisu,

I have re pulled the project from scratch and again compiled but still getting the same error::disappointed_relieved:

Guys I couldn’t solve this issue yet.Please anybody can help me because I need to run OpenMRS locally to do my GSOC tasks.

What does this return? mvn -v

thanks alot for replying @dkayiwa this is what I’m getting from the version check:

Apache Maven 3.5.3 (3383c37e1f9e9b3bc3df5050c29c8aff9f295297; 2018-02-25T01:19:05+05:30)
Maven home: C:\apache-maven-3.5.3
Java version: 10.0.1, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.1
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

Java 10? We have not tried that yet. Use Java 8

oops…I thought the instructions were to use the latest SDK.My bad then I’ll use java 8 and test it. Thanks you for your kind reply @dkayiwa

Do you mind fixing those instructions to help others? :slight_smile:

This suggestion was helpful for me, too, when I tried a manual install. I had assumed that Java 8 in the setup instructions was a minimum requirement, so I tried Java 10. Downgrading to 8 fixed the build error.

I got the same error while trying to install OpenMRS on a fresh mac laptop today, and its because my Java is version:

openjdk version “13” 2019-09-17

To now install Java 8, I went to this page: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

There is a pretty big warning there saying Java license has changed, and its ok for personal or development purpose, but not for others.

Question:

  1. Should I go ahead with Oracle JDK v8 now, or use a different provider?
  2. Is there plans to support Java 11 or 13 soon?

Thanks!

This site provides OpenJDK builds for Java 8. There a a project underway to update to enable more modern versions of Java, but it’s a pretty big lift.

Thanks @ibacher. I will try out openjdk 1.8.

With regards to the TRUNK-5689 epic (upgrade to Java), there don’t seem to be any notes in that ticket on the challenges towards upgrade. Is that a research that is pending? Should I spend some time trying to see if I can make openmrs-core run on Java 13, and see what possible workarounds exist?

#java #upgrade

@gsluthra There’s also another ticket which I explained at least some of what needs to be done. If you’re willing to take a plunge into that, it’d definitely be a good thing.
