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
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.
Jonas, I will close this bug in a week or two. Have you had a chance to try out the beta?
The beta works fine here.
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.
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. [1] http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig [2] https://sourceforge.net/p/jabref/bugs/1207/
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.
