Description nebojsa 2025-03-08 23:39:17 UTC

elasticsearch-8.17 introduced dependency on jdk. Without a jdk installed, it fails to start complaining about jdk.attach module not found.
After installing virtual/jdk:17, it works without a problem

Reproducible: Always

Usually if using virtual/jdk, it should go in DEPEND according to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Java_Developer_Guide#JDK.2FJRE.
In RDEPEND you put virtual/jre - and don't forget to inherit either of 
java-pkg-2.eclass of java-pkg-opt-2.eclass.
