I had issues on a Linux machine. Here a tested workaround.

Steps to test

Setup development environment on Debian 12.

Mandatory checks

  • I own the copyright of the code submitted and I license it under the MIT license
  • I manually tested my changes in running JabRef (always required)
  • [/] I added JUnit tests for changes (if applicable)
  • [/] I added screenshots in the PR description (if change is visible to the user)
  • [/] I described the change in CHANGELOG.md in a way that is understandable for the average user (if change is visible to the user)
  • [/] I checked the user documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I created an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, I submitted a pull request updating file(s) in https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/tree/main/en.

Are we sure the community edition doesn't have this issue?

In case Gradle does not find a JDK, use [`gg.cmd`](https://github.com/eirikb/gg) as follows:

1. Download <https://github.com/eirikb/gg/releases/latest/download/gg.cmd>
2. Move the file into your JabRef code

When the command line hangs at `:jablib:processResources`, you need to keep waiting there.
