New to vimming.
Have installed Mason, usually it installs LSPs without a hitch.

Get the following error when it tries to install the Java LSP:

Here is my java and maven versions.

In case we don't know what the error is, where can I find the logs to figure out what went wrong?

I made the same mistake, even if I changed the maven version.

I tried pulling down java-language-server for manual compilation, but the problem persisted.

update jdk version to the newest can solve this problem

[abhemanyus]

Updated to java 20, still getting that error

Nevermind, I messed up and installed jre 20 instead of jdk 20. Its working now, thanks!

Even for me I fixed the issue by installing openjdk 17.0.7 but I wonder what the cause must be.
The older JDK11 did have the jlint binary in the PATH.

Forcing people to upgrade to the latest JDK is hardly the right solution, especially for Java users.
Must be a better way to solve this.

[maxmx03]

this is how i fix:

install sdkman

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

install openjdk (eclipse)

sdk install java 21.0.1-tem

install maven

sdk install maven

hello，I had the same problem at first, but after I updated the jdk version to dk22, I was able to install it successfully. Here is my version of the environment. I hope this help you.

[V4G4X]

I'll be closing this issue as the README says that Java 13 is the minimum version required for this.
And upgrading is fixing it for everyone else.

If you're facing trouble due to another reason, please open another issue.
