Unable to build on Ubuntu 12.04/OpenJDK

According to this post,
http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/compilation_failing_with_npe, looks
like you need to install java JDK (dev kit), rather than just the JRE
(runtime env).

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm attempting to build the master branch using Ubuntu 12.04 x64/OpenJDK7
and I'm receiving a NullPointerException. I've tried OpenJDK6 as well and
gotten the same error. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Awesome - that did the trick. For reference, I had to run "apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk". I also had to do a few things to make the build tests happy:

ln -s /bin/false /usr/bin/false #The build tests reference /usr/bin/false, which doesn't exist on my system
ln -s /bin/true /bin/teststopscript #Not sure what "teststopscript" is, but this made the tests pass

Thanks for your help!

This isn't limited to OpenJDK, I got the same error running Sun 1.6.0_33 JRE. Installing JDK fixed it.

Thanks @jasobrown.

Hello,everyone！
I’m trying to run Priam under Ubuntu14.04 x64, but I'm not familiar with the AWS environment setup as the WIKI setup demands, could anyone tell how to do that? Thank you!
