Hi Bhavesh,

It appears you are using Java 21, but DSpace 8 says that it only supports Java 17 at this time.  See the Installation docs: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-JavaJDK17(OpenJDKorOracleJDK)

there is minor problem with that in the docs:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-BreakingChanges

says

[…]
"Java 17 (or later)"

and

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-JavaJDK17(OpenJDKorOracleJDK)

says

[…]
"You MUST be running JDK v17+"

I tried Debian 12 with Java 21 and had problems with the config vars
(variables from dspace.cfg etc. in CamelCase).

Thank you Tim,

Currently, DSpace 8 was successfully installed with Java 21.

I noticed the following issue: 

"mvn package" command is not working from this location: /source/DSpace-dspace-8.0 but it's working from this location: /source/DSpace-dspace-8.0/dspace/

By running mvn package from /source/DSpace-dspace-8.0/dspace/   and magic happened, it's worked for me.

Regards
