Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2014-01-04 22:18:17 UTC
The documents path seems to be broken:

emerge tells the user: 
find: `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/jabref-2.9.2/image//usr/share/doc/': No such file or directory

and later:

 * QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/jabref/api points to /usr/share/doc/jabref-2.9.2/html/api which does not exist.

But Jabref and its help is running fine.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Nicolas Bock gentoo-dev 2014-01-27 18:19:26 UTC
The ant build system for 2.9.2 doesn't produce API documentation and I can't get an answer from upstream as to why (I'll keep pushing them, but don't know how long a resolution will take). The beta version, jabref-2.10_beta2 produces documentation. I have been running it for a while now and it seems just as stable as 2.9.2. Would you mind giving the beta a try? If the beta is missing any features you need, please open a new bug and I will add it to the ebuild.
Comment 2 Nicolas Bock gentoo-dev 2014-02-11 20:23:45 UTC
Jonas, I will close this bug in a week or two. Have you had a chance to try out the beta?
Comment 3 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2014-02-12 19:51:03 UTC
The beta works fine here.
Comment 4 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2014-02-12 19:59:14 UTC
I get just a warning on console during startup:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.java.plugin.ObjectFactory).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Jabref itself works fine.
Comment 5 Nicolas Bock gentoo-dev 2014-02-14 04:09:54 UTC
I am getting that warning too. Have a look at [1] which explains what it means. I opened a bug report with upstream [2]. Please feel free to add to it in case it needs more details.

Comment 6 Nicolas Bock gentoo-dev 2014-02-14 21:11:30 UTC
Closing. Won't fix this version, since the beta seems to run fine. If anyone has issues with the beta version, please open a separate bug report.
