When cloning on my computer and ran the code there is what I got:

I was facing the same issue. Then after going through few solutions through the web, I finally found out that downgrading your Java JDK to version - 11 will solve this issue.

So, I would suggest trying downgrading JDK to version 11 and try, this worked for me.

In this context, I wanted to mention that JJava (a supported fork of iJava), has switched the Maven for builds, and consequently can be built with any Java version (11, 17, 21, etc.).

BTW, curious why you'd need to build the kernel from source in the first place? Is this because of custom patches on top of iJava to fix some of its issues? In that case JJava may already have that fix. And if not, we'd be happy to look at the problem and address it.

Hey Andrus,

Thanks for responding. I actually fixed the issue. It seems like I wrote something that gradle file, I took a closer look with my partner, and he actually caught the problem and has fixed the issue. Everything now works. Thanks.
