Installing non-free java application

Help
1

I’m struggling to install the enterprise version of Dbeaver properly. It is a Java application.

I’ve partially modeled my flake on the open-source version.

The main difference, is I do not need to build the ee version with Maven.

I’ve made some progress with the patches. But it is mostly trial and error at this point.

The application will start but crash.

I guess I’m supposed to use autoPatchelfHook and makeWrapper. But I’m stuck.

Thanks for the help.

Try using a JVM from Nixpkgs rather than using the bundled JVM. A bundled JVM would likely require a lot of patchelf patching.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not work.

Solution: https://github.com/berts83231/dbeaver-enterprise-nix-flake/blob/f49e4cba6be5cd7e2de9eaa43aff3d82987819b3/flake.nix

Inspired by the old way the installed DBeaver Community from a tarball.
