Common Build Issues
Getting Unsupported class file major version 57
You're probably using a Java version that's too new for gradle. Run the following command to check your Java version
java --version
While it may be possible to build and run DataHub using newer versions of Java, we currently only support Java 1.8 (aka Java 8).
Getting cannot find symbol error for javax.annotation.Generated
Similar to the previous issue, please use Java 1.8 to build the project.
You can install multiple version of Java on a single machine and switch between them using the JAVA_HOME environment variable. See this document for more details.
:metadata-models:generateDataTemplate task fails with java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index XX error
This is a known issue when building the project on Windows due a bug in the Pegasus plugin. Please build on a Mac or Linux instead.
