Cant seem to do my own build anymore

For some reason I cant seem to compile. I even tried on a machine I had previously compiled and installed on and get this error.

What version JDK do you have on your build machine?

JDK 11 is needed now and if building on Ubuntu 18.04 works well

Look here for the issue we resolved using JDK11... https://github.com/google/sagetv/issues/468

Ohhh. I was using oracle java 8. I was finding that scans for metadata form within sagetv only worked for me when I use that version. I will update, compile and switch back to version 8 if the problem returns.

UPDATE:
Still no luck. Getting the same error even with java 11 selected.

sagetv/build$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.15+10-Ubuntu-0ubuntu0.22.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.15+10-Ubuntu-0ubuntu0.22.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

I notice the machine I previously compiled on doesnt compile anymore either, no matter which version of java i select and set as home (export JDK_HOME=).

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Output.

There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Selection Path Priority Status

The build script should build a jar using jdk 11 that will run on Java 8+ so you can continue using Java 8 when running the server.

I will pull the latest from GitHub and try my build environment and let you know.
