For what it's worth, it's the sort of thing you should expect if you use a development branch of a project. And the solution was easy enough: install Java 1.8. I agree that letting what Debian packages determine development policy is a bad idea so regardless of any trouble I had, I agree that requiring 1.8 is the right call. Quite a lot of what Debian packages is rather old. It gets worse when you run into long term support releases of Debian derivatives. It's not just limited to Java. I've had issues with a lot of packages over time simply due to the ancient version Debian or one of its derivatives decided to package. The allergy to upgrading anything other than a minor patch level during a release cycle (regardless of upstream support) for a lot of distributions doesn't help either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freecol-developers mailing list Freecol-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freecol-developers
