@nmalin @JacquesLeRoux I have included in this pull request that upgrades several dependencies Nicolas' commit to replace iText with librePDF, in order to backport it to the release24.09 branch. Please have a look if it looks good to you. I am pinging both of you because I think you have worked together at it on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13300

[JacquesLeRoux]

It's more @nmalin than me, I prefer to wait for his opinion. Also there is one Javadoc error.

[jacopoc]

The javadoc error is not caused by the changes in this pull request. The root cause of the problem is that https://docs.oracle.com/javase/17/docs/api/ is broken.

[JacquesLeRoux]

Ah OK, this happens more and more everywhere during this "period"

[jacopoc]

I have modified the Oracle URL on trunk and the issue is fixed. I have updated this branch with the same url and it works too.

[JacquesLeRoux]

Seems that Infra has the same type of problem: https://ci2.apache.org/#/builders/121/builds/194

The line in is BB ofbiz.py is
env={"JAVA_HOME": "/home/buildslave/slave/tools/java/latest17"}

[jacopoc]

The useful error (the same we faced before I modified the Oracle URL) is at line 56:

> Task :javadoc
error: Error fetching URL: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/17/docs/api/ (java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/17/docs/api/package-list)

Thanks for the help Jacopo,

I'll put that in the Jira.

[jacopoc]

Once the new url propagates the build task will work: I don't think we need help from Infra.

[JacquesLeRoux]

Checking

[jacopoc]

I mean, once we merge this PR (that includes commit #17b3d22 ), the build will work.

[JacquesLeRoux]

Actually the URL is defined with the line I copied above
env={"JAVA_HOME": "/home/buildslave/slave/tools/java/latest17"}
That's Infra, I have no access to this generality (look for "17" in https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/buildbot2/projects/ofbiz.py).
Anyway I'll wait their return.

[JacquesLeRoux]

I mean, once we merge this PR (that includes commit #17b3d22 ), the build will work.

Indeed, because
env={"JAVA_HOME": "/home/buildslave/slave/tools/java/latest17"}
is not related to Javadoc but build in general

[JacquesLeRoux]

HI Jacopo,

Weirdly the last build passed w/o this PR pushed.
We can see at the top of https://ci2.apache.org/#/builders/121/builds/195/steps/12/logs/stdio

warning: URL https://docs.oracle.com/javase/17/docs/api/element-list was redirected to https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/index.html -- Update the command-line options to suppress this warning.
/home/buildslave/slave/ofbizBranch24FrameworkPlugins/build/framework/base/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/container/Container.java:39: warning: empty

tag

• Containers might be loaded more than once (have more than one instance).

Do I miss something?

[jacopoc]

@JacquesLeRoux yes I have noticed this as well. The reason is that the Oracle URL that yesterday was broken (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/17/docs/api/package-list) now redirects the request to the new URL (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/index.html). You can easily test it with your browser.
However, considering the outage we had yesterday, I think it is still safer to upgrade to the new URL directly without relying on the redirection.

[JacquesLeRoux]

I also thought about that because of the warning. So I agree to push, but we are not in hurry now :)
BTW, I have closed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-27790
