Stuck on an issue?

Upgrade to Apachi POI X.X Java module compatibility is achieved.

See original GitHub issue

SOLUTION: Upgrade Apache POI as soon as a version with Java modules is released. This will remove one more component from the Java 8 bridge.

If this plays nice with being compiled to an image, pull its functionality from the Java 8 bridge
If it does not play nice, update within the Java 8 bridge and test J9+ compatibility at the console

ORIGINAL USER TEXT:

Hi,

When attempting to export a language to excel, PolyGlot reports that the java runtime is missing.

However, upon further investigation, this does not seem to be the case. I did some digging, and it appears that the core of the issue is actually an unsupported character set (Big5). When running polyglot from command line, I had a look at the commands it was invoking, namely:

java --version

and

java -jar .../PolyGlot_J8_Bridge.jar export-to-excel ... etc

The version check actually seems to pass, which makes sense given that JRE 1.8 is installed and configured in the path correctly. The command that seems to fail is the second one, which appears to be caught by the same exception handler and reported as a runtime issue.

To further debug this, and provide more information, I ran the command myself, and it produced the following output:

This seems to be the actual of the issue. However, just in case it’s useful, here is the error log generated by PolyGlot:
