board jsons not parsing

[MangyDogUK]

Running latest sloeber...
been having a nightmare getting it to install on a fresh windows install, with JDK installed.

[MangyDogUK]

Sorry for not the great bug report... im really tired from loads of system rebuilding over the last few days... This is the last thing to get working.

Do you have the log file? Seems very similar to #1384

[MangyDogUK]

error.log

[MangyDogUK]

Adding --illegal-access=permit to eclipse ini didnt work.

[jantje]

According to the log you are on java 17 so parsing json files is not going to work.Which is confirmed by the loggings

!ENTRY io.sloeber.core 4 0 2021-10-31 23:17:51.186
!MESSAGE Failed to parse json file "G:\embedcpp-2021-09\eclipse\arduinoPlugin\package_index.json"
!STACK 0
java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private final java.lang.String java.io.File.path accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.io" to unnamed module @13140c17
	at java.base/java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.checkCanSetAccessible(AccessibleObject.java:354)
	at java.base/java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.checkCanSetAccessible(AccessibleObject.java:297)

It can be the workaround no longer works in java17.

I also see java.io.IOException: Unable to resolve plug-in "io.sloeber.application". which basically says your install is not ok.

[MangyDogUK]

OK, its not ok :D so what do i need to do to get it working... as the usual methods dont seem to be working.

[jantje]

use java 11

[MangyDogUK]

still getting this after removing JDK17 and installing 11...

[MangyDogUK]

error.log
fresh install fresh workspace

How do you install?

[MangyDogUK]

Downloaded latest eclipse from eclipse.... Selected the embedded option as I use some of the tools it come with.
Then i go to the market place and install sloeber from there.

I have also tried installing via install new software and the link off your site.

[jantje]

The marketplace install on latest eclipse will hit #1361
We do not support this path as it is very error prone.
FYI Part of CDT embedded is (and has been for a long time) in Sloeber

I have also tried installing via install new software and the link off your site.

I do not understand what you mean with that statement
Here is where you should be http://eclipse.baeyens.it/stable.php?OS=Windows
or you can go directly to the releases here on github https://github.com/Sloeber/arduino-eclipse-plugin/releases

[MangyDogUK]

installed via the install new software.... And getting that again.

[jantje]

You need java 11

[MangyDogUK]

JAVA11 is installed  

[jantje]

please provide error log

[MangyDogUK]

error.log

[MangyDogUK]

looking at the log it says java 16, but i did install jdk 11

[jantje]

As I said it is using java 16.
You can modify the sloeber.ini to point to the java you want it to use

-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.4/bin/javaw.exe

By the way ... you are not using the product as that comes with a compatible java

[MangyDogUK]

i think its already set

[MangyDogUK]

oh wait i see it now

[MangyDogUK]

seems to be working now

Yep all working now...
Thanks and sorry for being a pain.
