Re: NoSuchMethodError at xsbt.boot.Boot.main building play

[James Roper]

Could you double check that that is indeed the version of Java that you're using?  quoteReplacement was added in Java 1.5.  It may be the case that the version of Java on your path is the GNU JVM, or a very old 1.4 version.

Could you run the following commands:

echo $JAVA_HOME

which java

And see what they output?

I have binary play 2.0.4 (last October 01 2012 version) installed on ubuntu 12.10 with 1.6.37 jdk

play path is my home path, which has no space characters

the same version of play works perfectly on my other machine

[James Roper]

quoteReplacement(Ljava.lang.String;)Ljava.lang.String;  means quoteReplacement(String): String, the L means object, so the signature it's looking for is correct, it's just odd that your JDKs implementation of Matcher is not able to find this method.  What do you get when you run java -version?  Is this Oracles JDK or OpenJDK?  Could you try apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk, and then run

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386 play help

the output is

i checked this method and it really does not match quoteReplacement(String[] string) signature, its quoteReplacement(String string), so i expect some input string broke on many...

[Rei Mai]

oh, sorry, you are right, no [

it works on 7th openjdk, and yes, for oracle jdk java -version returns 1.5!

turns out i have /usr/bin/java pointing to version 1.5 and going earlier in PATH

thank you! sorry for the trouble

No worries.
