So recently I was given a maven project I need to compile, but there seems to be some compatibility issues with wr04j and the most recent version of Java I have installed on my Mac.
Execution {redacted} of goal ro.isdc.wro4j:wro4j-maven-plugin:1.8.0:run failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing ro.isdc.wro4j:wro4j-maven-plugin:1.8.0:run: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null
Upon further research I found a Java version manager similar to nvm with node. I followed all of the steps I could find to download prior versions of Java hoping to find the one that worked. One issue arrived that caskroom and homebrew don't appear to host versions of Java older than Java11.
Is there something I am missing? I run these lines in my command line
brew tap caskroom/versions
brew search java
The only versions that show up after doing this are
java
java-beta
java11
java6
All of the instructions list versions 6-11 as available. Maybe they were removed? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Any direction would be much appreciated.
I was unable to find a version of Java before 11 on homebrew other than Java6, but found this fix for anyone receiving the same error.
