Issues building on OSX

Development
1

I am using openjdk8 to build languagetool

mvn clean test didn’t seem to result in anything concerning

./build.sh languagetool-server package -DskipTests also runs through fine

But when I try to run the resulting jar I get a Unresolved compliation problem error:

java -noverify -cp languagetool-server-5.8-SNAPSHOT.jar org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer --public --allow-origin "*"
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

	at org.languagetool.server.Server.usageRequested(Server.java:118)
	at org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer.main(HTTPServer.java:163)

Any advice?

Note: I am on a ARM mac.

PS: My actual goal is to add sentry.io to LanguageTool.

That’s indeed strange. Does that also happen without -noverify and with our builds (Index of /snapshots/)?

3

removing noverify doesn’t change the result. official snapshots run fine.

4

Maybe try building with Java 8. While using a recent Java should work for running LT, the official builds still use Java 8.

5

ah forgot to mention that I am already using java8.

do you know if anyone managed to build successfully on an apple silicon machine?

6

No, and I’m also not aware of any case where it failed the way it does for you.

7

I am not trying to just build it on Linux from source.

mvn clean test
./build.sh languagetool-server package -DskipTests
mv languagetool-server/target/languagetool-server-5.8-SNAPSHOT.jar languagetool-server.jar
java -cp languagetool-server.jar org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer --port "$PORT" --allow-origin "*"

But now I am seeing

Which version of Maven do you use? I don’t see these warnings with Maven 3.6.3. Does the build work anyway, i.e. are these just warnings?
