Debian 10, jabref 5 failing installs

Hi,

I try to install jabref 5 on debian 10.
Jabref 5 to avoid donwgrading java.

However, all of the methods i tried fails.
Started with binary files.

  • deb file: dpkg complained that it is not a debian pkg file
  • could not try the general linux tgz file, since it is difficult to connect to builds jabref org/master (time out, down)

I tried to compile.
Got from git and the ./gradlew assemble failed. See below.

Thanks for your suggestions,
Tamas

./gradlew assemble

    • Advanced control of transitive versions
    • Support for optional features and dependencies
    • Rules to tweak published metadata
  • Support for Java 13
  • Faster incremental Java and Groovy compilation
  • New Zinc compiler for Scala
  • VS2019 support
  • Support for Gradle Enterprise plugin 3.0

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

I think that the problem today earlier was caused by the site and the download resulted in damaged files. I could download and install from deb

Glad that you could resolve the issue.
The download site for the latest master is sometimes unstable or it might be the case that the upload of the file was not yet complete.

Otherwise, if you want to build from source, you need to install jdk13.
