I hope this is the right forum since my problem is very general. Else please point me to the correct forum.

I followed http://jdownloader.org/knowledge/wik...nt/get-started to set up a development environment.
What I did:
- install Eclipse Kepler (last one with a dedicated version "for Java Developers"?)
- Install Java JDK (version 1.8.0.112) and select it as default
- install Subclipse
- check out the four repositories
- change settings for /JDownloader/src/org.jdownloader.startup/Main.java
- click "run"

But there seem be be lots of errors.
The "errors" tab says: "errors (100 of 12725)" and also lots of warnings.

If I still click on "run" I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
The type new JsonSerializer<JsonFactoryInterface>(){} must implement the inherited abstract method JsonSerializer<JsonFactoryInterface>.toJSonString(Object)
The method toJSonString(JsonFactoryInterface) of type new JsonSerializer<JsonFactoryInterface>(){} must override or implement a supertype method

at org.jdownloader.startup.Main.main(Main.java:210)


Is it a problem with the JDK (is Java 8 supported?) The tutorial mentions Java 6 but that looked very much outdated. Or did I miss some dependencies? Or what else might have gone wrong?

As you might have guessed I am not really a Java developer but did some coding in other languages and I think I can do minor changes and fixes.

Thanks for any help

Java 8 is supported and works, I'm using Oracle JDK 1.8.0_112
I use Eclipse Neon.2

have you looked at the bottom of the getting started guide to known issues?

If you need further help I can provide over teamviewer.

Either join chat and we will help you setup the workspace via Teamviewer or conact us via support@jdownloader.org
JDownloader runs with 1.6-1.8 and experimental support for 1.9
I guess you have set wrong java version in eclipse project. Via Teamviewer we will be able to help you very fast.

Thanks a lot, it is working now. Java version should have been correct but my Eclipse seemed to be too old.
raztoki and coalado did a great job getting me up and running!

I tried it with a minor change (add avxhome.unblocked.onl to the decrypter, since avxhome.se and .in is blocked by my provider) and it worked great.

You can request svn write access (see end of this article, http://jdownloader.org/knowledge/wik...nt/get-started ) and then commit your changes yourself

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you could get it working
