Package: jabref Version: 2.10+ds-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, 1. When starting jabref I get the following error message and it hangs at the welcome screen or aborts. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.java.plugin.ObjectFactory). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info. Found 2 plugin(s): - net.sf.jabref.export.misq (jar:file:/usr/share/jabref/JabRef-2.10.jar!/plugins/net.sf.jabref.export.misq/plugin.xml) - net.sf.jabref.core (jar:file:/usr/share/jabref/JabRef-2.10.jar!/plugins/net.sf.jabref.core/plugin.xml) 2. I have read http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig and some blog entries on the internet to figure out how to configure log4j, but without success since I have no clue how java works. 3. Checked that there are no similar bug reports pending. 4. When trying to file a bug report I got the info Quite some bugs reported against JabRef are actually problems with the used Java Virtual machine. Before filing a bug against JabRef, please make sure to test with all installed JVMs, and provide the output of the jabref wrapper called with the debug parameter in the bug report, e.g.: $ DEBUG_WRAPPER=1 JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ jabref $ DEBUG_WRAPPER=1 JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun jabref Please also include the output of $ dpkg -l "openjdk*" if you are using OpenJDK. Note that openjdk-*-jre package is needed, openjdk-*-jre-headless is not enough. Please also go through the bug reports against the JVM you're using at http://bugs.debian.org/ and check if similar problems are already reported there. 5. I figured that I have several versions of java installed. prompt> ls -l /usr/lib/jvm total used in directory 16 available 45801528 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 10 16:00 default-java -> java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 13 16:15 java-1.5.0-gcj -> java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 1 22:07 java-1.5.0-gcj-4.9-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 11 14:26 java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jan 26 15:19 java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 -> java-7-openjdk-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 6 03:19 java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 -> java-8-openjdk-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 1 22:07 java-7-openjdk-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 11 14:26 java-8-openjdk-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 13 16:15 java-gcj -> java-gcj-5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Dec 25 2014 java-gcj-4.9 -> java-1.5.0-gcj-4.9-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 6 06:04 java-gcj-5 -> java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 6.
