ExceptionInInitializerError on version 6.4 about languagetool HOT 10 OPEN

I cannot reproduce that when starting the JAR from the LT 6.4 ZIP files we provide. It looks like a packaging issue. Do you know what the actual commend is that gets executed by languagetool?

from languagetool.

languagetool looks like a shell script to build the java command and eventually runs

/bin/java
-cp /usr/share/languagetool:/usr/share/java/languagetool/languagetool-commandline.jar:/usr/share/java/languagetool/languagetool-server.jar:/usr/share/java/languagetool/languagetool.jar
org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer
-p 8000 --public --allow-origin * --config /home/languagetool/languagetool.conf

(wrapped for readability)

from languagetool.

here's the source for the wrapper:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/languagetool/-/blob/main/languagetool.sh

I'll try to build the package myself and see how that goes

from languagetool.

Does it make a difference if you run the command from the directory that contains languagetool-commandline.jar? Or from /usr/share/languagetool?

from languagetool.

It does not seem to make a difference from where I run the full command.

from languagetool.

looking at the code, it looks like git.properties isn't found

from languagetool.

the file is where it should be, so it's probably a problem with invoking the jars or it's not able to properly read the file, but it doesn't log the warning either

from languagetool.

It's definitely some kind of packaging thing.
Downloading the release zip, extracting it and running the command as in the docs successfully starts the server.

from languagetool.

I just found the reason.
There was a stray, empty git-premium.properties in /usr/share/languagetool, getting rid of that solves the issue.
So it wasn't a packaging issue.
I wonder why it still worked on 6.3
