3.7.x broken builds and releases
it looks like there is a problem with 3.7.x release builds in general.
If I use 3.7.6.jar downloaded from here, then I'd get the following NCF error in an app:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/swing/plaf/windows/WindowsLookAndFeel
at com.jidesoft.plaf.LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension(LookAndFeelFactory.java:848)

It's getting more interesting when one starts to compare releases and their sizes, for example:
jide-oss-3.6.14.jar - 1.57Mb
jide-oss-3.7.6.jar - 178k
and for 3.7.6 it's pretty much doesn't matter where I take it from: Github (https://github.com/jidesoft/jide-oss/releases/tag/3.7.6), Jitpack.io (https://jitpack.io/#jidesoft/jide-oss) or build locally (with Maven).
On Jitpack, click "look up", it'll show you different versions, snapshots and their build logs. Most/all of them are failing.
On my local machine, when I was trying to compile it with Maven (mvn -f pom_compile.xml clean compile package), it wouldn't copy actual classes at all but rather some minor artefacts. If I try it with modified Ant build then it'll produce bunch of Windows related errors:
jide-oss/src/com/jidesoft/plaf/vsnet/VsnetWindowsProgressBarUI.java:25: error: cannot find symbol

Potentially builds on Windows OS are fine but Unix/Linux-based shall be reviewed.
My JDK & OS versions:

openjdk version "11.0.9.1" 2020-11-04 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.43+1007-CA (build 11.0.9.1+1-LTS)

@sfuerte
Potentially builds on Windows OS are fine
So, do you mean that the win build is good ?
@mokun , potentially, I haven't tested there.
But even assuming the win build is good, copying a built JAR to any Linux/Unix/macOS platform will be useless. Will end up with the com/sun/java/swing/plaf/windows/WindowsLookAndFeel NCF error there.
Technically, the code isn't platform independent and can be build/run on Windows only with JDK 11+.
@sfuerte
hmmm I pointed about a similar error in this issue here when using jide in my linux box.
Thought it was resolved but you never know, since the maven package never got updated.
I might be wrong but it doesn't seem to be too difficult to resolve this.
Can someone look into this ?
@sfuerte please use the library source code instead of the jar. We don't release jars anymore. The latest version is 3.7.10 which already fixed the NCFE.
@jidesoft when I was posting about Maven/Ant compilation errors, that was on macOS 11 under JDK 11:
jide-oss> git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: build.properties
modified: build.xml
modified: pom_compile.xml
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
and the diff is already at the top of the ticket.
When trying Ant build on master branch (3.7.10?), then it won't even start on JDK 11:
jide-oss> git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean

I'm really not too sure what's happening here. Either way. Currently, the latest provided jar by jidesoft is version 3.7.6 and the current state of the code fails to build for me using maven. And clearly not just me.
The library version 3.7.6 has this issue with the NoClassDefFound and windows LAF that makes my application crash on multiple linux distros when running java version 9 and above. The issue is also mentioned in issue #37 that is linked in some other projects as well. The issue is however fixed. Just not in 3.7.6.
I have managed to build the current version 3.7.11 into a library jar by importing the project into eclipse and merging some of the files from other src directories into a single one and exporting that as a jar.
Here is a link to the functional library (built using Java 8): https://mega.nz/file/JckwwLyY#OZC5KVEN33N0c4Vl02DeLt2vCSfJ6EVeDa6YSBFrCZY
I hope I am not violating any licenses. I'm posting this just so people don't have to go through the headache of trying to figure this out again. Hopefully, jidesoft will fix their build system or address why it's not working for us.
Thanks for the library though ❤️

@DevCharly ,
Thanks for your contribution.
Jidesoft has just released 3.7.12 on June 1, 2021.
Do you updating your maven build to 3.7.12 so as to give the OSS community a helping hand again !
I just found out Jidesoft released 3.7.13 on early this year on that very special day of February 22, 2022, in that a lot of people get married 😄
@DevCharly , can you by any chance update that for the OSS community ? Thanks !
@DevCharly
They released 3.7.14 since 25 Aug 2023.
Will you by any chance be able to update yours to 3.7.14 as well as another contribution to the OSS community ?
Much Appreciated !
@mokun thanks for the reminder 3.7.14 is now available on maven central 😄 https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/formdev/jide-oss/3.7.14/
