What is the discussion, do you have an issue or a special reuqst topic?
There was done something and it seems that there appears a message with BIRT & Java17.

Please document a little bit more information about BIRT-version, what was the special execution, perhaps demo-report and what is the discussion topic.

Hi
i use now java17 - in java 8 all was ok -> osgi runtime runs
now
please show in the folder -> lib of osgi runtime of 13 or 14
very very OLD jar file - not to use > java 9

thats all - i wait now for 4 year !!! to go greater java 8

[speckyspooky]

OK, I read that the OSGI version is running on your side - sounds good to me!

Yes, it is known that this very old Java-library is listed in the lib-folder and it is located there due to compatibility reasons but it is no active part of BIRT himself.

It sounds like you are trying to run jars as modules but Java 17 can use a plain-old-classpath and run plain old jars without needing to try to interpret then as modules. The jars are generally there because these are needed by something, so I don't expect that removing things will generally still work.

Note too that no one is going to be able to solve your problem from little snips and bits of stack traces. You will have to spell out fully and clearly exactly what you are doing so that someone else can exactly reproduce it.
