I ran into a build error while packing my code with maven on a different computer setup. My maven project works fine on one linux box, but on the other one it fails with this error:
[ERROR] Supertypes of the following classes cannot be resolved. Please make sure you have the required dependencies in the classpath:
class java.lang.AutoClosable, unresolved supertypes: Object
class com.mycompany.ProviderObjIdentity, unresolved supertypes: Object
I don’t know where to start debugging this problem. There are no differences in the code for the projects, but I guess the two developers are using different JDKs. Maybe different versions of maven. Definitely different flavors of linux.
EDIT: I’d be happy to provide any additional information, I just don’t know what would be helpful.
this dev guy’s setup is busted:
Kotlin: 1.0.4
sles SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
Linux 3.0.76-0.11-default
mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 06:51:28-0700)
Maven home: /home/devguy1/apache-maven-3.0.5
Java version: 1.7.0, vendor: IBM Corporation
Java home: /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.7.0-ibm-1.7.0/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "3.0.76-0.11-default", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
I would say that the classpath is not set up correctly. In other words, some part of the IBM Jdk could not be found, or the system is mixing different jdk/sdk versions. Most likely it is a configuration problem on the system. Some Linux distributions do some really weird tricks with directory installations that may also be less than helpful.
