Startup failing with NoClassDefFoundError sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfoFile after java updated to java-11-openjdk-headless-1:11.0.20.0.8-2.el8.x86_64, ubi-8-appstream

Quarkus fails to start after openjdk was updated to java-11-openjdk-headless-1:11.0.20.0.8-2.el8.x86_64 yesterday in redhat repo: https://cdn-ubi.redhat.com/content/public/ubi/dist/ubi8/8/x86_64/appstream/os/Packages/j/

It works ok with openjdk java-11-openjdk-headless-1:11.0.19.0.7-4.el8.x86_64.

Quarkus version: 2.8.0.Final
Using image: ubi-8-appstream

This looks more like an openjdk related issue. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

I found the fix for this an adding it here in case someone else runs into this.
The fix was to also install tzdata-java package inside the container.

[marcelkoren]

Hey @ghermaniov . Can you please explain how exactly did you install the package inside the container? I'm trying different ways of altering my dockerfile, but none seem to help - the img builds successfully, but it fails on run/deploy.

[TimTeige]

We use the ubi-minimal:8.8 image and added microdnf install tzdata-java to the dockerfile to install the required package.

[marcelkoren]

@TimTeige thanks, now it works. The -java part fromtzdata-java went missing after moving code around 😅

[bencebalint-ovo]

I think a better solution is to use the ubi8/openjdk-11 image which contains the tzdata-java package pre-installed, instead of manually installing OpenJDK on the base ubi8 image.

For reference, ubi8 vs ubi8/openjdk-11
