Please Help Me @MohamedTamer & @ewpatton

Hope Anyone Fixes this error soon

I have already made my Builder about 20%
And now while add a few components I got this error

Thank You

Try

ant clean

git submodule update --init

ant

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 19, 2021, 3:06am

But it cleans all my files!

vknow360 · September 19, 2021, 3:21am

Check components (specially annotations) added by you.

NishyanthKumar · September 19, 2021, 6:22am

StringIndexOutOfBounds:

Error: The "String index out of range" exception represents that the code is trying to get a character from the string, but the index is greater than the length of the string.

Cause: Index 0 is the first character (indexing starts from 0 in Java), so that means the String it's trying to get is empty.

Possible Solution(s): You probably skipped a step that updates the String. This String seems pretty vital, since the error appears at many places. Try following all the steps, and be patient while doing so.

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 19, 2021, 6:25am

Hello Everyone
I found the result
Actually in the

I tried to add a new component category, and there I used & in the name of the category
So, that was the error
I even tried to use the ampersand code which is \u0026 but it too didn't work

So now I removed everything just Word1 Word2 I used space

NishyanthKumar · September 19, 2021, 6:27am

That is why. Java has specific variable/variable type names reserved for its own purposes. Using a variable named as such, for example, naming an int as Integer, will break your code.
Naming a component as the filename would be disastrous (this comes from experience).

When I asked my friend @Aarush_Kumar then he said that it is a problem with Java, and shells can't access it, then I tried java -version

I don't know why, but it worked fine until yesterday morning.
The error came from yesterday evening.

The same happened even when I tried to install Appzard Offline.
You can check the conversation here

Hope you all solve it soon

Btw one doubt
Should I reinstall Java???

Please help me @MohamedTamer & @ewpatton, I really need your help

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 3:25am

There seems to have been a FileNotFoundException; try running it in another directory maybe?

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 21, 2021, 3:50am

I even tried in all my 3 back-up folders but the same error came, I even checked again and again. I even checked in any fresh copy but the result was the same,

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 4:13am

Something may be wrong with your instance of Java since there's no reason it should throw an IOException here. It may be prudent to reinstall it.

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 21, 2021, 4:17am

Sure, I will...

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 4:30am

OpenJDK 8 is mostly recommended (it's the 2nd most reliable, Java 7 was the first)

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 21, 2021, 4:31am

is OpenJDK 8 and Java JDK 8 same?

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 4:32am

Not really. Java used to be free and open-sourced.
Now, since it isn't, people have come up with alternatives. They, unfortunately, have less packages and classes integrated into them.
One such is OpenJDK.

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 21, 2021, 4:35am

I installed Java JDK 8

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 4:35am

So far, as I've tested, OpenJDK gives me the most speed when compiling and running a multi-thread class out of all the alternatives.
Java 7 and 8, by comparison, are way faster.

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 4:35am

See if it works now.

SRIKAR_B.S.S · September 21, 2021, 5:06am

I have checked it again, I deleted the old one. and installed it again with the same .exe file. but still the same happened, I think we should install again from the java website

NishyanthKumar · September 21, 2021, 5:10am

You can't get Java anymore, you'll have to buy it -_-
