Package sun.text.normalizer does not exist

Royce_King · October 16, 2012, 4:33pm

When I run the identical build.gradle file on my mac and the build works great. I moved the build to a RedHat box with the same JDK and now I am getting a lot of warnings like the following “warning: unmappable character for encoding UTF8”, and errors like “package sun.text.normalizer does not exist”. Then it blows up saying the following:

Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. 2 errors 41 warnings

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: Execution failed for task ‘:taxhawk2012:compileJava’. > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
Try: Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
Exception is: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ‘:taxhawk2012:compileJava’.

Any Ideas?

Where exactly do you get the “unmappable characters” warning? My guess is that you use MacRoman as your source file encoding. Then you have to configure ‘tasks.withType(Compile) { options.encoding = “MacRoman” }’ to make the Linux build happy. That’s because ‘options.encoding’ defaults to the Java platform’s default file encoding, which on Linux is UTF-8.

The Gradle error message says “Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.” One such error is “package sun.text.normalizer does not exist”. Not sure what it means. Maybe you are using a JRE instead of a JDK to execute Gradle, or maybe the class only exists in tools.jar, which is bundled by default on MacOs, but not on other OSes.

Have you double-checked that the output of ‘gradle -v’ is the same on both machines (except where it can’t be)?

Royce_King · October 16, 2012, 5:09pm

I get like 42 of the UTF8 warnings right after it does a “compileJava” on one of my projects. I get the warning on multiple files. Where would I add the

tasks.withType(Compile) { options.encoding = "MacRoman" }

? In the project?

On my mac: gradle -v

Where would I add the …

In the build script, at the outermost level.

Regarding the “package sun.text.normalizer does not exist”, I recommend to google for the problem. My Google search didn’t turn up something concrete; maybe you have more luck.

Peter_Niederwieser · October 16, 2012, 5:38pm

Don’t you get more information than “package sun.text.normalizer does not exist”, like the class that it’s trying to import?

Royce_King · October 16, 2012, 5:43pm

/foo/bar/Md502CrMef.java:14: package sun.text.normalizer does not exist import sun.text.normalizer.ReplaceableString;

/foo/bar/WebUtil.java:269: warning: unmappable character for encoding UTF8

case ‘’: sb.append(“€”); break;

/foo/bar/PDFFileRAMField.java:23: package com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.util does not exist import com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.util.ByteInputStream;

Tried the

tasks.withType(Compile) { options.encoding = "MacRoman" }

Same result.

Peter_Niederwieser · October 16, 2012, 6:05pm

Same result.

The warning still says “UTF8”, so apparently the setting didn’t take effect. One thing you can try is to invoke Gradle with ‘-Dfile.encoding=MacRoman’.

All in all, the problems sound more like environment differences/problems than Gradle problems. Since I can’t inspect your environment, it’s hard for me to make suggestions. See this link for an explanation of a similar “package does not exist” error when compiling with Maven: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/200805.mbox/<483A97BF.3080207@chello.at> Maybe these classes can be used with an Apple JDK, but not with an Oracle JDK.

Let us know if you find anything.

Royce_King · October 17, 2012, 3:30pm

I think that is the case. I had to add a classpath for the rt.jar. I don’t understand why that isn’t already included. After adding it to the claspath it built, and tested fine. Here is my code:

repositories {
     flatDir { dirs "/usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk/jre/lib" }
 mavenCentral()
 }
  project(':taxhawk2012') {
   dependencies {
                compile ':rt'
}
        }

I am still getting the UTF8 warnings. But I am ok with the warnings because it is still testing out correctly.

Peter_Niederwieser · October 17, 2012, 3:35pm

Seems like:

Oracle’s ‘javac’ doesn’t grant access to some of the internal classes in ‘rt.jar’ which aren’t meant to be used by user code.
This can be circumvented by explicitly adding ‘rt.jar’ to the compile class path.

To add a single file to a configuration, you can do ‘dependencies.compile files(‘path/to/file’)’ (instead of the ‘flatDir’ approach).

estaub2 · October 25, 2012, 1:32pm

The ‘javac -XDignore.symbol.file’ switch should fix this - but I’m a gradle newb, and don’t see how to feed this to gradle’s JavaCompile. My best guess is:

tasks.withType(Compile) { >

options.compilerArgs << “-XDignore.symbol.file” > }

This is from a similar (non-gradle) StackOverflow post.

Peter_Niederwieser · October 25, 2012, 1:47pm

As far as I can tell, ‘-XDignore.symbol.file’ isn’t supported by the Java compiler API. For the time being, you can work around this with ‘options.useAnt = true’ (and then pass ‘-XDignore.symbol.file’ to ‘options.compilerArgs’).
