FC32: hitting error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError (same app used to work on FC31)

Hi!

(Java proselyte calling, please be gentle...)

I'm trying to run an application: REW (roomeqwizard,
https://www.roomeqwizard.com), which used to run fine on fc31, but
crashes upon launch w. a freshly installed and updated fc32.

Here's the error message i'm getting:

$ ./roomeqwizard 
sep 11, 2020 6:16:28 PM roomeqwizard.RoomEQ_Wizard A
SEVERE: Error during startup java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.jdesktop.swingx.util.OS.platformName(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;

According to the programmer, the platformName method is part of the code
included in REW, and REW requires only a Java 8 runtime.  Together with
the author of the application I've tried to do some debugging, where
things seem to point towards my local java installation:

 
https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/linux-installation-problems-java-lang-n...

Info about my java:

  $ java -version
  openjdk version "1.8.0_265"
  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_265-b01)
  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.265-b01, mixed mode)

The openjdk and openjdk-devel packages, plus some, are installed:

  $ dnf list installed '*openjdk*'
  java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64             1:1.8.0.265.b01-1.fc32    @updates
  java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64       1:1.8.0.265.b01-1.fc32    @updates
  java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64    1:1.8.0.265.b01-1.fc32    @updates
  java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx.x86_64     1:1.8.0.265.b01-1.fc32    @updates

Q: do the packages above provide me with a proper JRE?

Any clues to what the error might be pointing at?

Any suggestions as to how to get closer to debugging what's going on?

Thanks in advance!

Yours,

Hi N, thanks for replying!

    N> Hi, have you tried with java 11?  I tried on my fedora 32 with
    N> java 11 (I changed the default JVM, because in the future fedora
    N> 33, java 11 will be the default JVM) and the application is
    N> launched.

    N> I also tried with java 8 and it's seems to be working...

Could you send me the output of 'lsof -p <pid of rew>' while REW is
running?  Perhaps there's something which could be glanced from there?

I've tried w. java 11 and java 1.0.8, but get the same error w. both.

That it works on your machine suggests strongly something is wrong w. my
local install.  I've reinstalled the java's without any change in
behavior.  Anyone got suggestions as to how i can debug my install?
Other apps to test my java with or similar?  Ways of debugging?

Thanks again!

Hi again.

Scrapping my entire .m2 directory makes the REW app happy again :-)

Not sure what in there caused the failure.

Thanks for help and feedback!
