Hi, I've confirmed that SimplyHTML crashes on both Ubuntu 24.04.4 and the current Ubuntu 26.04.1.
To investigate further, I downloaded the source from the project's own repository rather than the Debian source package. I was able to compile and run it successfully using both Java 11 via mise and the Java 17 package available in Ubuntu. The project is configured to target Java 8 and uses an obsolete Gradle setup. However, the more relevant issue appears to be that the upstream version currently used by the package is quite old. The upstream discussion already points to upgrading the package to the newer version I used for testing, which no longer exhibits this issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1104088&pow_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.launchpad.net%2F#29 In the meantime, you can successfully compile the project from https://github.com/freeplane/shtml/. The only caveat is that you need Gradle 8. The Gradle setup doesn't have a `run` task, so I bypassed that by adding this task to the Gradle configuration: ```groovy tasks.register('printRuntimeClasspath') { doLast { println sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath.asPath } } ``` Then run: ```bash gradle build java -cp "$(gradle -q printRuntimeClasspath)" com.lightdev.app.shtm.App ``` ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1104088 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1104088 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2165181 Title: simplyhtml crashes with java.lang.NullPointerException To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simplyhtml/+bug/2165181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
