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.

No. 16 GB RAM of the machine was already full.

IntelliJ ran OKish, but gradle was unable to compile its Kotlin build files.

Did you import as gradle project after cloning?

Happens automatically by IntelliJ
