Upgrading to a newer version of Java

I’ve been banging my head against the wall for a few weeks now to have a test build working with a version of Java newer than Java 8. Just a few minutes ago I solved the last major issue I know of, which was working around the fact that the classes we use to play sound were deprecated and then removed after Java 8.

Expect a test build sometime this week.

Hooray!

Test build:

vassalengine.sourceforge.net/builds/

3.2.18-svn9251 is compiled with Java 11 to work with Java 9 or later. It WILL NOT work with anything less than Java 9.

Please give this build a try and let me know what you find.

I have tried version VASSAL-3.2.18-svn9251 with a freshly-installed JDK SE 11, and upon launching VASSAL I get an error pop-up with the following error message:
This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0

We need more details to know what went wrong, such as what OS you’re
using, how you’re launching VASSAL, and what’s in the errorLog.


J.

such as what OS you’re using

Win7 Professional

how you’re launching VASSAL

I’ve tried both double-clicking on the icon, and entering the following in a cmd window:
java -jar Vengine.jar

and what’s in the errorLog.

When I use the command line I only have the following:
VASSAL: IO error
java.io.IOException
at VASSAL.launch.ModuleManager.main(ModuleManager.java:164)
Caused by: java.nio.channels.OverlappingFileLockException

Is there more I can find somewhere?
