chemcentral-loader - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataSource #143
Description
While running the ChemCentral loader (Release 0.5.4) for ChEMBL the following exception occurs: -
Loading file /data/chembl/chembl_28.sdf.gz
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataSource
This appears to be the result of using a Java 11 RDKit base container image. Initial attempts to work-around the problem were not successful. The eventual workaround was achieved by using an earlier squonk/chemcentral-loader image (i.e. 0.3.12). Images for 0.4.0 and onward suffer from the same problem.
